Sweet to Salt

I use Dark Colors during the day for Largemouth and poppers after dark.....they produce real well for me.

I've never fished the fresh stuff after dark, but my father tells me stories of trolling jitterbugs at night, listening to the constant pop...pop...pop, then a huge smash of a big bass grabbing the lure. Must be exciting.

Black Jitterbugs are KILLER at night. I used to troll around Curlew and Widgeon ponds (Miles Standish State Forest) in a canoe at night. The big girls go topwater at night.

Ever fish those big 3 treble Musky jitterbugs at night? Hoo-boy! When something hits it, it's gonna be a nice one! I like the big sized Smithwick Devil's Horse at night, and buzzbaits work extremely well, too.

I spent a ridiculous amount time in FW as a kid and into my late 20's. More in the salt the last 10-12 years. There's a myriad of techniques, patterns, and concepts that will work on both. All fish are a little different, but fish are fish. If you're good at catching one kind, chances are you'll figure out the other kinds quick enough.
