My dad taught me to fish @ night and he loved it up until he passed away @ 86. Lots of reasons why we love it, but its all I do 8 months of the year.

i love fishing at night it’s just a different experience like it feels like with diminished vision your other senses are just so heightened i’m so hyper focused on the vibrations the sounds you really FEEL the actions of the lures and you FEEL the rod because there’s no other clues to rely on it feels like another world

I get off work at 11pm and go fish my pond. I usually don't catch much but there's nothing like fishing a quiet pond in the dark with just your thoughts and the occasional bass to keep you company.

The thing I like about night fishing is no sunblock is required.I love the sounds of the night like owls hooting and frog’s croaking. You can use a black light and make 10lb line look like rope and you can see the slightest bite. Dale hollow is my favorite lake to night fish in July. A Stan Sloan spinnerbait is hard to beat in 3/4 oz purple or black.fished on 17lb line with a pork chuck. I plan my trips around the full moon. Also make sure to leave your running lights on or the water patrol will give you a ticket. Cool nights and less boat traffic makes night fishing one of my favorite times to fish and not to mention the smallmouth will jerk your arms out socket when they hit the spinnerbaits.👍😎❤️🎣

Lifetime Night bassin' fanatic. Started in 1960.. Almost 70 years old, still doing it today...Not as easy recovery though...lol... Usually, I'll fish the dusk til dawn bite windows. This Spring, fished four 10 to 11 hour trips in a row the 4 days leading up to the Full Moon for incoming pre-spawners. took a week to recover.... With bodies of water with high numbers of bait, the second bite window always better. season within season variables apply. I spent 52 years fishing the Northeast, but now living in the Southwest with the heat and blazing sun and primarily clear water impoundments with ridiculous boat traffic, night bassin' is all I do all season from March thru November. The peace and solitude, along with the great bite is the only way to go.. Always enjoy your videos !

Sometimes when out hunting for a cheap spinner bait in a store, you may only find a white or yellow Spinner available at low prices. To correct the issue and make the bait darker for night fishing is to have a felt pen available and just darken the dress-skirt with the felt pen. You can make it whatever grade of darkness you wish it to be, and still be able to fish at night with a spinner, or jig that is dark in color, while still saving money on a cheaper priced bait-jig. I've seen $1 spinners being sold at Walmart. They are spinners that the store just wants to sell off cheap. Problem is, most are bright colored spinners, like white and yellow skirts which doesn't do as well as the dark colored shirted rigs for night-time fishing. Felt pen ink will darken the jig up and will not come off while fishing. Saves you a bit of money against the higher priced jigs that are dark in color when sold. Happy cheap-bait fishing....

Caught a 8.5lb night fishing. No lie shined a light walking up to the bank and seen a good sized fish. Killed the light and thru a strike king black and blue river bug , and 1st cast she nailed it! Right after the spawn , so I say she could have been close to double digits pre spawn. Put her back and walked back home. I was good for the night lol

I’ve just started bass fishing about less than 2 months in. I took your advice on night fishing and actually caught my PB 4lbs bass and a couple 2lbs in just couple nights on my black blue spinner bait from shore! A lot to learn but been binge watching your videos. Thank you so much for your knowledge and experience 🙏

Fishing golf courses at night back in the 80's and 90's was a blast. We'd take a flashlight and shine it on the bank and see all these bass just sitting there, facing the water's edge. Good times.
@MrDjinxbass11 ай бұрын
Yes, black soinnerbait. Thin wire, colorado blade. As SLOW as possible. Just enough to turn the blade. Dragging the bottom. Braid is essential to feel this action. If the blade suddenly dles, keep the same speed, it will come back. Second or third hit will be viscous.
@markzajac50882 жыл бұрын
I do a lot of night fishing here in CT. I will painfully slowroll a 3/8 oz single colorado deep cup black blade spinnerbait shallow. I will use the largest blade I can get away with without it rolling on me. A plastic trailer also helps to keep the spinnerbait from rolling. I will also put a small amount of glow in the dark fingernail polish on the head of the spinnerbait. I don't use braided line on spinnerbaits because at times the bass will follow right behine it and will just try to flare their gills to suck it in and with braided line it doesn't give a inch. Another bait is a black and blue jig. Sometimes at night the smallies will hit the jig and spit it out before you know it. Most of the time your setting the hook on the feel of them spitting it out because you didn't feel the first pickup and you pull the bait away. Smallies will hit the jig thinking it's a crawfish, crush it in their mouths to break off the claws and spit it out and do it again twice. It's on the 3rd hit that you set the hook. I also use a pompadour topwater bait. That bait will out fish any topwater bait around. Even on nights when there is no topwater activity(Bass busting bait) I will throw it randomly shallow or out in the middle of the lake(smallies) and you will get hits. Main points, lighted docks and lighted beaches are good spots. I don't like a bright moon. Some moonlight is okay. Thanks Randy.

I was surprised he never mentioned a bladed jig if you have no wind it’s one of the best baits to throw. Also, a swimbait like a magdraft on a beast hook is also good.

Spinnerbaits are awesome, I make my own from very thin wire stock which is a big key. All of the big manufacturers' wire stock is too thick and won't vibrate as much. I fish a light blue/black skirt with a netbait paca chunk blue/black trailer. A little wind chop on the water is also very helpful...

I retired recently and I moved to a town near the southern border. It gets so hot here that night fishing is very popular. A ranger said that they will soon be switching their hours to 2:30 AM because that is when most of the boats are out during the summer months around here. Thanks for the lure tips. I will be trying this next week.

Senkos thrown at night can be dynamite. Toss them to the inside and outside edge of weed beds Let it fall to the bottom. Lift and fall once and repeat. You really need to be in tune with it because you can’t watch the line for visual clues to a bass taking it. Thankfully they tend to hang on to it.

Fish a lot at night and have found for Carolina piedmont lakes `10 PM to 2 AM best and again around 430 to 530. On a night you can see the stars clearly with lower humidity the topwater bite will be bad and better to fish bottom with a texas rigged worm or jig. Points I like to fan cast a spinnerbait slow. On nights with high humidity a buzzbait is hard to beat. Night fishing gets great here after about July 4th and on into early October. Steep channel banks and points are normally the best spots. One night in August two of us caught 24 fish over 4 lbs up to 9 pounds using buzzbaits on a lake three or four big ones in a full Spring day would be considered a great day. If I start out on top and don't have action in 15 minutes I fish bottom the rest of the night.

My brother is the night time anomaly. He can throw the exact opposite of what is supposed to work and make me feel straight stupid. Lol… Like, I would be throwing a big black single Colorado blade and he would always upgrade us throwing a little white tandem willow leaf right behind me. If I switched, it seemed like neither of us did much good. Lol. I still don’t understand and I’m still annoyed it wasn’t me catching them. Lol it was usually big ole 5# and up smallmouth too.
