Fighting fire...

[numbskull]

I like dull finish dark purple plugs in fire.
I think lighter plugs reflect the light and aggravate the problem.
I try to fish plugs that run straight like a needle.
As Joe says you need to go slow (which means you need a lighter needle than usual).
I've done well on small skinny skin needles in fire.

The visuals when a big fish hits in close in fire is a fantastic sight. It is really hard not to strike too soon.

These warm water months can be frustrating with the glowing jellyfish.
I usually use needles or if the water is deep enough I will go with a bucktail and pork. Last week I was casting into 15-20' of water and the bucktail really saved the night. Nothing large, but good action for bright water conditions. Jellyfish are usually in the top few feet of the water column, maybe this holds true with the dinoflagellates as well.
