drop shotting at night

[sean0920]

i started fishing some friday night tourneys.  i do well with dropshotting worms and such during the day and was wondering if anyone has dropshotted at night using worms, etc?

the night bite hasnt really started to heat up yet so i am just thinking about options

thanks

When I think night fishing I think bigger baits that are louder and move more water.  They're easier for the fish to see and hear.  I've never tried dropshotting at night so who knows.  Some old standbys for night fishing for me have been:

5/8 oz jointed black jitterbug, or the size smaller

black spook jr, or spook

black buzzbait

pop-r

1/2 oz black and blue spinnerbait with a # 5 or 6 colorado blade

wide wobbling crankbaits with rattles

6" dark senko type bait

black and blue jigs with rattles

T-rigged 7"+ curly tailed worms

Conditions permitting I would fish topwater right up until it gets dark out, switch to a jig, trigged worm, or a weightless senko if the topwater bite dies.  If they're not on topwater, or taking the baits sluggishly, I'd search with a slowrolled spinnerbait.

When fishing at night use the same baits for the same techniques on the same locations you would during the day.

Everybody has techniques that work for them. But for me, that is just not the case. I catch the better bass on baits and techniques completely different than in the day.

I am sure dropshotting might work at night BUT any finesse technique would be last on my list. Big black colorado blade spinners and 10" worms have produced more 8lb plus bass for me than any other.

Good way to put five in the boat before midnight.

skitter pop is my choice

Zoom Trickworm or V&M Needle Worm (8") T Rigged or C Rigged will always put fish in the boat at night for me.  Also the new G Tail by Zoom looks like a nighttime killer!
