Spinning at night time

Any of ye people have any experience of spinning at night time. What lures would work best? Are we talking highly luminous Lures, or would the likes of german sprats etc work?I presume species would be mainly Pollack?

On another note, Do ye people find German Sprats a good lure?

On the contrary, dark/black lures work very well as the silhoutte is strong at night. Also jointed plugs give out a vibration that fish can pick up with their lateral line.

Also the finish on Yo Zuri lures for example would reflect any moonlight. As far as species go, bass, pollock & seatrout are all possible.

German Sprats are a good lure, although I think there are better sandeel imitiations about, the kilty catcher & rapala sliver aswell as plastic baits like shads, jellyeels & redgills

I tried spinning at night with luminous shads, a Yo zuri with a luminous insert, another floating diver with luminous stripes, plus other lures. Never caught a thing...but then I've caught nothing plenty of times in daylight too :D

I have used the black flyin cs just after dusk and have caught bass using them (also ollack)

I spin at night off fenit pier there are alot of lights so maybe this doesn't count use german sprats alot and catch mackeral, pollock, scad. caught bass with german sprat as well during the day.

On friday night i used a bronze toby and had a pollack almost every cast. :wink: Also seen Mackeral lifted on a standard trace.

i love the german spratt 4 pollock and sea trout.... didnt work 4 me after dark...it actually worked best just b4 it got dark...duskish.... i found the rapala minnow worked well at night cause of its joints...also try leaving a surface popper float 4 a while...let it drift in the surf...bass think its a dead fish....worked 4 me a few times

thanks for all the replies people! And if anyone else has anything to add feel free. What other lures do people reccommend?are the Yozuri Mag Popper and the Storm Saltwater Chug Bugs aswell as the Kilty Catcher all good lures? If I was a fish I'd go for them!!

I use black storm chug bugs at night or in heavy dusk for bass and have found them very successful this year, don't know whether it's after dusk or not but the general stamp of fish that fall to these poppers seems to be really good, no fish that fell to this method this year was under four
