after starting this post ive tried many different lures and i think my favorite lure is the mirrominnow in the green back. If you cast it under a snook light retrieving it like a walk the dog just under the surface youll catch fish.

also try rattling cork with soft plastics or live bait dont forget the lunker sauce it helps at night so do glow lures and dark colored lures the cast a larger profile at night and when it is dark and cloudy try using black or dark brown with a red or bright colored head or tail contrasting colors work well in dark conditions as well.

try doa shrimp in glow or near clear, and the terrorize red eye in rootbear or even the big fish lure it is a really good big fish bait and it has an air pocket so you can set the hook.

Miror Lure 7m11 I used to buy them by the box when I was night fishing. Once you get the hang of it I think you'll agree. Just a fast retrieve then let it rest, then hang on!

[quote][b]Fisherman7 (11/24/2007)[/b][hr]Thanks, Ill have to give those a try. Does that apply to snook lights as well cause ive tried lots of lures under lights but the only one that seems to work is the yozuri pinns minnow in the glass minnow color.[/quote]

The Pins Minnow is one of the best snook baits under the lights, IMO.

yup dark lures for dark water

Thanks ive been trying a yozuri pinns minnow and been getting a good bite on it. I think ive been using the wrong color lures though. I mostly fish in cloudy rootbeer color water and ive been told that I need darker colored lures for dark water is that true?

I do alot of night fishing for snook and tarpon in the everglades backwaters going to naples from miami off krome ave., I like to use big plugs that create alot of ruckus... Maybe topwaters like the new rapala x-rap walk works at night but the bite isnt consistent but youll get something big... Try a jointed size 13 x-rap for snook aand tarpon and you'll have some luck and also the doa shripm works well also, Try lunker sause for smell and that will atract fish but snappers the most... Just remember at some fish use sight but mostly vibration, sound, and smell if you use those senses you'll have some big dogs on. Goodluck!

nothing beats a red/white windcheater or a bucktail for snook at night but it depends on what kind of current your fishing... i dont really know about backwater fishing though...

Hey guys, I was wondering what you preferred for snook and tarpon fishing at night. I'm mainly fishing in backwaters and brackish water. Ive been trying top water, suspending, and some jigs but nothing seems to be very effective. Any help would be apreciated
