night fishing tip

bassintom · 08-09-06, 05:48 PM

was out with my daughter fishing last nite..zook knows,i talked to him while we were fishing..she stayed with me till about 9 p.m. we got 3 bass in the weeds on worms.then the wife picked her up.i stayed till 11:30 or so.
fished this rock jetty in a fairly clear reservoir near me.(PB,the run).saw bass coming up hitting baitfish.but they wouldn't hit topwater.started throwing a senko..but,to get them to bite i had to hold my rod high and keep the bait near the surface and keep it in almost one spot shaking it.they would come up and hammer it..got 9 bass doing that.water temps were 83 degrees and almost full moon.dead calm on the side of the lake i was fishing.

How deep were ya fishing, i know close to surface, but about how far out and what depth did you see the activity first? Also offtopic but, were you there earlier than sunset, to see if the water clarity got any better? Latley it has been a heavy stain

Sounds like you had a gr8 time!!! Awesome

damian2b · 08-10-06, 01:26 PM

Without a doubt ill be giving that a shot...

adamgambill · 08-12-06, 01:24 PM

Love the night fishing. Not suggesting anything*clears throat* sluggos man.

lizardsrule · 08-12-06, 01:37 PM

Any suggestions on how to keep the gators away at night

I decided to take the plunge tonight, just been too hot during the day

Actually been home for a couple of days due to heat fatique

I'm going, just wondering if there is anything I could do to keep the gators at a distance, without of course ruining the fishing.

If not, just gonna bring the 12 ga just-in-case

I don't consider myself anything close to a Steve Irwin(the crocodile hunter freak).

mymomisbecky · 08-14-06, 09:30 AM

this is why I offer the option of a non salted senko (if the customer wants).
I fish a lot of senkos as psuedo jerk baits etc.
Love this presentation.

abugarcia6 · 08-14-06, 04:48 PM

what color was the senko?

bassintom · 08-14-06, 04:58 PM

any dark color worked.when i ran out of camo,i used watermelon,when i ran out of them i used red shad.

Well, you can at least spot 'em from a distance with a big light, allowing you to avoid 'em. If one gets too clos, fire up the big motor, if he still won't leave, aim to run him over, then hope he goes down (unless you're in an aluminum boat, in which case, you can go head and nail him.JK, not really

)

I thought you were afraid of snakes, not the native Florida big lizard. I've only had one bass chomped off my line by a gator in plus 28 years of Florida bass fishing. And when did you relocate to our nation's oldest city???? I fished your city's marina dock for flounder 3 weeks ago with great success and NO gators. Hope you enjoy our Florida lifestyle.

Well it sure is good to see ya around, I sure have thought about ya a lot, since I’ve been down here. I moved down in Nov of 2005, first couple of months were in O’Cala. I do hate snakes with gators being a close second. Truthfully I’ve been amazed at how few snakes I’ve seen. Guess the gators and big bass keep them down. I would love to get together and go fishing anytime you want. I haven’t done any saltwater fishing, only tanic water, with some decent success catching a few Bass. I should have moved down here 20 years ago. It has been pretty warm, but I’ll take it easily, considering it means year round fishing. Unfortunately on this wonderful night fishing, I hurt my back, and am down for awhile till I get it taken care of. Anytime, and I mean anytime you’d like to go fishing, I would love to go. My boat is little, and not good on big waters, but I do know of this lake that has produced a few 10+ lbers for me since I’ve been down here. Again it sure is great to see ya around. You're one of the reasons I loved this site so much when I started here.

Night fishing is nice. Nothing beats a Jitterbug in the moonlight.

onlyculprits · 08-16-06, 10:35 PM

And nothing beats a fox trot in the daylight.
