night bite

[Jig Thrower]

i have no problem when catchin fish through the day but i tried night fishing a week ago and i felf like a first timer out there what do u guys throw at night?

[Bassn Blvd]

Throw the same thing at night as in the day.  BUT, I tend to throw the spinnerbait and Zaraspook a little more at night.  8-10" worm works well too but fish it slow.

but i will stay out till the break of nightfall on occasions.

my best producer is any 10 in. worm with a screw in style bullet weight, fished extremely slow along the shoreline.

Despite popular belief bass do not morph into a new creature just because the sun sets; fish the same baits, same locations, and same techniques you would during the day.

Try fishing during the day with your eyes closed next time you are on fish.  That will let you know whether or not you can highten your other senses to get the job done at night.

Big ole Black Jitterbug.

Popping scum frogs!  Those that say fish the same as you do during the day are dead on.

I use a 8-10" worm with a 1/8-3/16 tru-tungsten worm weight. I use this same rig in the day time too.

Some people like to insert a rattle into the worm but I don't. Another option is to put a glass bead between the weight and hook. I think the bead and weight puts of more noise.

I have also been doing okay with a black/blue speck senko.  I fish it weightless or put a splitshot about a foot above the hook. I use it with #8-10 mono.(forget which # line I have on my reel, I think it's #8)

I reduce my lure choices down to a few after dark.

Texas rigged plastic worm with brass & glass bead or rattle in the bullet weight.

Jig & pig

Deep diving crank bait.

Buzz bait.

Spinner bait.

I change to heavier line then the day time. The reason is it's more difficult to tie good knots and make accurate casts when you can't see well and the bass are not line shy at night. During the summer night period the bass where I fish tend move up from deeper into water between 1 to 12 feet deep in rocky brushy areas and outside weed lines.

Not going to lie to you all one bit. I get a little freaked out when I'm around water at night.

It was 116degrees here today. My fishing trips are always overnighters.

I like Jitterbugs and Hula Poppers for bass, live bluegills for flatties.     Happy fishing.

[Koop]

Black on Black buzzbaits, black/blue or black/chart jigs w/ dark colored trailer.

If you did that in the lakes around here, you would come back to the ramp with a big bag of jack squat.

Thermocline during the day, shallow at night.
