Of course, you will need to test various lure colors at your favorite fishing spot. Not all colors work at all times and at all places. Just take a handful of different colors with you until you see one that works best where you are.

As obvious as that sounds, you would be surprised at people who "read somewhere" that black lures work best at night for example, so that's all they pack for their trip. If they come home empty handed, they blame person who gave them advice. That is why it is a good idea to listen to others for advice, but also use a little common sense at same time.

Another quick tip since we are talking about lures...

Single hook lures are usually a good idea to prevent tangles when fumbling around with rods and reels in darkness.

Two - Other boaters

While you have control over lights on your boat, you don't have that luxury with other boats on water with you. Some people do not abide by law and they choose to not use their lights when night fishing for whatever reason. Seeing another boat at night when they do not have their lights on can be a challenge.

Three - Insects

Big fish aren't only things that come out at night. Expect to find more mosquitoes and black flies at night, eager to snack on your skin. Always bring some bug spray (deet) with you.

Four - Wildlife

Like insects, you may find an increase in animals out at night with you. One in particular are snakes. For some reason, we come across more snakes at night than during day.

Five - Fishing with others

It is hard to see your partner's rod when he is casting at night. Many times have I been snagged by a lure being casted by my partner. Keep an eye out for your co-fishermen when you cast your line.
