Howdy

Just a short note to say howdy to all. Have been watching the forums for about a month now and am really impressed with the info available. I will try to do my part in keeping everyone abreast of what I am finding. My primary interest is bass and I love to night fish.

JMy primary interest is bass and I love to night fish.

Welcome to the forum.

I never have been very successful night fishing. What is your favorite method in the summer. I have a couple of tournements that I will be fishing w/ a buddy. One on Pomme, and one on LOZ.

Any tips?

I happened across this and i'll offer some advice based on my experience at stockton/grand/TR. I hope it helps.

The bass will be up on the banks feeding so find a nice main lake cut or creek and go to work with a 1/2 spinnerbait w/ a single colorado blade. Position the boat close to the bank and cast out front at about a 60 degree angle.

My favorite spinnerbait is a war eagle black and chartreuse w/ a chart blade and a blue zoom super chunk trailer. It has two little rattles on it, and I think you want to use contrasting colors for the trl. A white/green spinner bait w/ a pork frog is also good, but most spinnerbait combos will work well. Plus they're easy to cast and snag resistant.

A jig w/a craw trl is also good. We typically cast them and hop them along the bottom back to the boat. I like black/blue.

For plastics i'd use a big worm in red shad or purple.

Deep diving cranks also work, but the spinnerbait is the best.
