Anyone else fish at night?

**zettler** · 06-06-2014, 04:52 PM

I know I am a little "off" but I enjoy fishing at night. I usually do it around lighted from shore areas and seldom catch anything of size but I find it relaxing and sometimes exciting!

I just don't fish for Crappie but basically whatever bites on my bait is great by me. I just wonder if anyone else goes and what "techniques" you employ???

Anyway I am leaving for there at 5 pm and will be out there tonight so either call or post!!

Thanks in advance.

I went with ya 2 years ago and I try to go a couple times a year. I like using submergable green lights and when the bait fish start to school around the light I then fish outside and just under the schooling bait. Its hard for me to fish at night when I work 3rd shift but am on vacation the first week in July and will be out there giving it a go.

you might try the right side of the wilburn boat ramp . there was a trough there that you could catch big channels and you could also catch flatheads on the riprap there. use shad guts for channels and large live minnows or real small green sunfish for flatheads.don't use any weight on your line and either hold your rod or open bail because they will steal your rod and reel if you lay it on the ramp. lately there has been a lot of crappie there.

Still in the Wolf Creek area but its darn slow. No bites for over an hour...

Fished Rend a few times that way. Used a green light and a floating light caught more white bass and channel than crappie

I like to pull cranks an hour before sunset and an hour after I catch the crappies and a walleye or 2

Still in recuperation mode. Didn't get off lake till the storm hit around 3:30 and it was a mess at the ramp. Not the worst one but one guy had TWO (pleasure) boats at the dock at Wolf and trying to take gear off BEFORE placing them on trailers...

Slept 14 hours and felt great!

Fairly slow where I went but managed a few and two more bonus Walleye!

More later.

Thanks for the input and feedback.

Years ago, I fished Apple Canyon Lake up in the northwest corner of the state. I used to fish at night to stay away from all of the boats. I'd fish the windswept shorelines with leeches and lighted slip bobbers. I had great success for bluegills and 'eyes. I've had one 30" walleye in my life and it came out of Apple Canyon at about 2am. There was one particular shoreline that was very good, until the homeowner decided to put a dock in and disturbed the area. It was never the same again. One night I was also almost run over by a couple drunk guys in a pontoon boat. I was anchored and they weren't moving fast, but wouldn't change course until I blasted them with my spotlight. I could hear them telling each other they could see my lights, but couldn't tell how far away I was. I kept yelling at them but they kept coming, until I hit them with my spotlight.
