Night Bassin for Largemouth! Tips

Booyah Buzz Bait

  I've spent the past three weeks struggling during the day with the water temps being at the peak of the year, i decided to try some night fishing. The same fish that were not active during the day down in deeper water at night come up shallow into the weed lines and shorelines and feed. These fish can be very aggressive! Buzz bait has been the hottest bait on most nights. We have been fishing with no head lamp no lights other than the bow and stern lights on the boat. Only using the head lamp to tie knots and unhook fish. The darker the better! 

  I have fished 4 times now in three different bodies of water with the same results at all of them.. When the black buzz bait isn't working the next best lure is a black spinner bait with a single colorado blade. Slow rolled over the tops of the weeds. The will hit violently and its awesome! If that doesn't work my number 3 lure is a black chatter bait with a black blade and a black or dark trailer. I use super flukes or bruiser baits even a paddle tail swim bait would work well as long as its dark. You can pick up these there lures at almost any sporting store or tackle shop.

 These past few weeks i have caught some of my best largemouth of the summer and its been a lot of fun. Ive caught 5 bass over 4 lbs and tonight i caught three including my new PB at night. A 4 lbs 13 oz TANK.  This fish hit right at my feet and pulled some serious line on my bait caster. Get out there some time this month and see how fun fishing at night can be... is it creepy YES, is it kinda scary YUP, is it a thrill to catch some big fish in darkness ABSOLUTELY.
