Comment:	Skipping or flipping plastic worms or other baits under and around docks is an enjoyable way to pass a morning. There are enough largemouths in Koontz Lake (like most natural lakes) to ensure a modicum of success fishing that way. At night, however, bass lose some of their wariness and desert the shade and seclusion offered by the miniature wharfs. Night-anglers can expect to get strikes away from the docks, even in swimming areas bass would never go during the day. Some people swear by black-colored lures in the darkness. The theory is that the black lures cast a strong silhouette against the night sky or even blacker subsurface background. Ben and I chose luminescent lures as much to benefit our own eyesight as that of the fish. I think fish do pick up and strike at the "glow" lures at times better than a black or other colored bait. But many anglers night-fish with them more because it's easier to see them and make accurate casts. Though bass will move out from the docks or other cover, a well-placed cast is still more likely to produce a strike than a lure just tossed randomly toward the bank.
