I need advice as to what color light I should use on my night fishing rig. I was thinking about green but do any of you guys know a specific color that attracts baitfish?
 
What are you trying to attract? Fingerlings? I guess I don't understand.
 
Small bait fish which will bring in the big browns and then the browns will see my shiner swimming near and they won't be able to resist. I am going tonight to try a green light and see how it works.
 
green is awesome in SW
 
I've heard that red is the most visible color underwater... As for at night, they do have hooks/rigs that are made of a luminescent material, that when heated, (or placed next to a lantern for 15-20 sec) will glow in the dark. That may work well too.
