Night fishing on a Full Moon

[1234567]

Was just wondering how many of you guys have caught a ten+ while fishing at night and how did you catch it with what lure/bait??

Ive done really good bass fishing at night,even better on full moons,but you have to watch u still can cast shadows at night,your boat as well as yourself will still cast shadows.Spinners large worms jig with rattles my top choices.

never caught a 10+ (i live in NY, but im searching for one haha) but i do alot of night fishing. i cought my share of 5+ pounders night fishing with both black single colorado bladed spinner baits and also a 10 inch power worm

I have caught numerous ten-pounders at night, but I always awaken from those dreams before I can get to see what lure I was using.

Har, Har, Har !!

Seriously though, all of my REALLY big fish have come on bright sunny days, mid-day or close to it.

I have caught seven-plus pounders from five different states, and  an 8-pounder from California waters.

I think you'll find that if you really pay attention, you'll notice that more huge bass will be caught on a 3/4 moon phase (waxing or waning) than at any other time in the moon phase.

What's sick is lots of people fish the full moon religiously, but what they don't realize is that the 3/4 moon phase is so strong that many of the bass have already gorged themselves by the time the full moon comes, and many times, especially the ponds I fish here in Colorado, the bite is way off on the night of a full moon.

Catt hit it on the head though.  Fish the outside of key deep water structure and hold on tight.

Loomis says he catches bigger bass the day or two after a full moon....I think it was on bass edge.

He based that on less fishing pressure and some other factors that don't really apply to me up north where the water temp never gets warm enough to bother night fishing instead of day fishing haha.

We usually do good with topwater here, but this past full moon phase topwater was producing very little action.  Dragging worms slowly across the bottom worked this time.  Just when I thought I had a good idea of what they wanted and when???

+1^ No ten pounders, but I've caught some respectable (by Kansas standards) bass on a big, black single-blade spinnerbait running it just far enough under the surface so that it just barely leaves a wake.

Can't claim a ten pounder yet but got a 7 on a black jitterbug last June.
