Are You Tired Of Bass Fishing Pressure? Night Bass Fishing Is For You!
Click Here For Details About The Bass Fishing “Secret Weapon”!
If you are fishing on a clear lake during the late spring, summer or early fall seasonal period and your luck has been pretty dismal during the day, then try fishing for bass at night. In Clear lakes and lakes that have a great deal of fishing pressure big bass will hide in thick cover for most of the day. You probably did not know there is a good possiblility that your local lake becomes very active at night! Those big fish that were hanging tight in cover most likely will come out at night and feed aggressively in 3 to 10 feet of water. The darkness gives them cover and they don’t have to work as hard when they attack their prey. There is very little fishing pressure at night because there are not many night bass fisherman.
The word night fishing is exciting and very few fisherman take advantage of it. The night brings solitude and any night sounds are amplified over the water. This is the time when a very sensitive rod tip and a good pair of hands will come in handy. Normal sounds of boat traffic, swimmers, skiers, is replaced by the night sounds of birds like hooting owls and of course the sound of feeding fish. There is a very good chance that if you are fishing on a clear lake you will catch more bass when you are night fishing and there sizes will be much bigger. The best time to start thinking about night fishing for bass is when the water temperature rises into the upper 50 degree mark, but your best night fishing for bass catch will be when the water temperature rises well above 60 degrees.
Any lake that contains a health population of crawfish or spring lizards, (salamanders) is usually a good for catching bass at night. Water dogs (larva salamanders will work well also. If you know where there is any rocky gravelly areas on your lake this is a good spot to set up at night because the bass will feed aggressively in these areas because crawfish tend to move around more at night. To attract crayfish and other crustations and bait fish close to your boat use a submerged fishing light source. The light will also attract zooplankton and other bait fish, which get the bass feeding even more aggressively. Underwater fishing lights are sometimes called submerged fishing lights if you go to purchase one.
