FIRST TIME NIGHT FISHING

The first time ever tried night fishing without lights. Well we had 4 places picked out so we went to the first one and on second brush pile Pappy pulled out a nice one. To make a long story short fished another 67 brush piles before we caught the next fish at 6 13am. This was in the area of 1 of the 4 areas to try and the shallowest....From 6 13 to 8 13 we caught a total of 83 fish single poling. Had 31 keepers and few really nice fish. Fish was in 16 fow in open water mostly. I think all the fish after daylight was caught on Sunshine and blackberry hot rods and Sunshine, june bug and wildcat devil minners. Pictures will come later.....

Sure is cooler and less crowded

Great looking bunch of slabs…

Fun times! Thanks for sharing. Did you have apple cake for breakfast?

There’s some nice fish. Was this at Green? What time did you get started? Think you’ll try it again?

Had a blast. Got to try out my new BnM Diamond Series rods (8ft & 12ft) and they did a great job. Even got to battle about a 6lb Largemouth on the 8ft rod before it threw the jig.

I still think we'd have caught fish in the dark, if we'd have just FOUND them :biggrin

Slabanator jigs WORK, people ..... best get'cha some !! :ThumbsUp

Yes, it was at Green. We started around 9pm .... quit around 830am.

Nice !
that makes for a long night for sure !
glad things changed come day light ! I guess i’d be putting in around 6 AM headed home by 9AM :biggrin

No, unfortunately we didn't have any apple cake. My wife still hasn't tried making it yet...but we is going to one way or another...lol

Staying Power. One fish then nothing for 6 or 7 hours. In the middle of the night. I know I would have laid down and slept till daybreak. I bet you all felt like heck for 2 days after that trip. But if you had fun, that is all that matters.

Neither of us are currently on "normal" sleep patterns, so it wasn't a big deal to stay up. Considering the heat :Fire, I doubt I'd have made it thru 6-7hrs of daytime fishing, let alone 11hrs. nonono

That's my Pappy. My sleep pattern as you no from our late messages is much the same. Just don't expect any messages between 5 am and 10 am. lol
