Dark colors work fine at night ... I used to use blue or black worms with a tail of a contrasting color (chartreuse or red). Adding sound to the plastics will also help, as in a rattle insert (I generally use one in my 4" craws). Cranks that have a hard wiggle & rattles will draw more attention than those without.
I generally start the night at dark, throwing the plastics ... then if I'm not getting bites, or the bites are scattered or down around the 12-15' level, I'll start throwing the cranks.
If you start getting bites or follows from Gar .... get off that bank & go somewhere else !!
And remember ... you must keep your 360deg white transom light ON while fishing navigable waters at night.
... pappy
