I am fairly new to salt water fishing but I bought a little boat the first of the summer and am out several times a week. I have only caught 4 red's so far and all have been on gold spoon in the daytime, I have tried live shrimp, dead shrimp, cut bait, to no avail. My question is are gold spoons not as effective at night due to the lack of light to make them shine ???

| when your useing a spoon it targets 2 of the fishes senses it has vibration becuase of it spinning and it uses sight when it flashes it the water so your chances of catching a fish at night on one are cut in half becuase there is no shine but if your fishing dock lights both of those senses are used becuase of the light off the dock

I disagree with KingLing. The quality of a fish's eye site deviates from species to species. Saying that, the deviations can be in the spectrum of color they can see and how much or how little light they can pick up with their eyes. Certainly on a clear night with a full moon your spoon will be able to reflect light visible to fish, especially in clear water. Now the eye site of a specific fish such as a redfish, I cant say for certain but I can say that redfish can be caught through all hours of the night which leads me to believe that they are predators that have no problem holding their own in the nocturnal world. Just my opinion.

GOD I LOVE EM ! If you can't catch with a spoon you can't catch, and here lately they are the only thnig that keeps me from getting skunked by our underwater friends ! But I lost my last two yesterday after having a blast with ladies, pompano, and reds, have to go buy more, but will have a min. of 6 in the box at ay one time.

I throw it out, let it sit for five second rule, then a real or two then pop it, a real or two then pop it, at a fairly fast pace, not as fast as you can reel but fairly steady.
