Night Fishing Tricks For Summer Bass!
BIG BASS BITE AT NIGHT! If you aren't night fishing in Summer, you're missing a huge opportunity to catch monster fish! When Summer heat gets unbearable, turn to the dark for an opportunity at big bites without the sweltering heat. Here are some tips that break the night fishing mold, to help you catch more fish.
We've all heard the same things about night fishing. Traditional knowledge like "Fish big worms", "don't forget the rattle", "you have to use a Colorado blade" are constantly passed around like fact. The truth is, night fishing is very similar to fishing in the day. Whites, browns, chartreuses, are all viable color options when night fishing, you just need to figure out what your fish prefer. As a rule of thumb we've found that darker colors work on darker nights (new moon) and brown, white, and chartreuse work better on right nights (full moon).
Below you'll find links to some of our favorite night fishing baits and gear. We've included our favorite colors for each, as well as the hooks and weights we use, where applicable. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
