With a nightcrawler on a perch hook under a small cork, I cast out next to the submerged structure and waited. On a July night in McComb, Mississippi, I placed a submerged light next to a second Christmas tree and threw out 2 cups of fish food to chum the water. However, by using artificial sources of light, including black lights or white lights taped to the boat or a floating orb, anglers can draw out bass from their lair. At night, mini bass returned to their layer and remained in their sanctum to avoid potential predators without the low illumination. From sunken leftover Christmas trees to fallen Oaks or Cypress trunks leftover from a storm, each of these provides a unique habitat for ambush predators such as bass. Submerged trees are a common structure to find went bass fishing. Anglers need to target the shadow lines and submerged pilings or supports of docks which can often house lurking bass.
There have been plenty of retrieves that I have brought almost back to the pier before receiving a strike from a bass that was not 5 feet from me. If placed in the middle of the feeding frenzy, this fish struggles amidst the schools of other fish feeding on the chum, presenting a ripe opportunity for hungry largemouth bass or, often, catfish to swallow up.Īdditionally, docks provide cover for the bass themselves to ambush. One of my favorite techniques when angling from the dock is to catch a juvenile perch and place it beneath a cork on a midsize hook without a sinker. The increased activity of smaller fish will draw in the predators, bringing the bass right to you. You will find a miniature feeding frenzy occurring in the water beneath you. Particularly at night, if you illuminate dark water and/or chum the waters around a dock. Docks are excellent cover sources, providing structure for bait and juvenile fish to escape predators. Following this line of thought, if you can draw the food to you, you can be sure the bass are soon to follow. Locations The Dock:īass are opportunistic predators, so if you can locate the food, you will probably find a hungry bass. But you’ll catch some of the biggest bass of any time of the day. With the right equipment and a few tips, you might not catch more bass than on a daytime trip. The How:īass fishing at night, when done correctly, can be as easy as angling during the day. So paying attention to the fine details can help you hook into a big fish. Windy nights, partially cloudy nights or a bright moon can affect the success of the trip more than most anglers expect. To catch bass at night, anglers should focus on focus on the day and nighttime temperatures, whether it’s a good moon phase or the time of year. However, anglers looking for the highest likelihood of filling up a stringer while nighttime bass fishing should stick to the ponds and lakes. There is a myriad of reasons for this, from current to structure.
However, bass fishing streams and rivers at night are often not as successful as ponds and lakes. The where:īass Fishing at night could hypothetically occur on any body of water with bass. Bass fishing at night can go from a late-night way to unwind to a feeding frenzy in no time. While still getting to rip lips is an experience unlike any other. The peace of the outdoors settling into its nocturnal state. This situation and many like it makes night bass fishing so enjoyable. The warm summer breeze gently stirs up the water’s surface as you cast that crankbait along the shore of the southern pond, looking to snag a hungry bass searching for a midnight snack. The moon is out, the stars are bright, the sky has a light cloud cover, and the weather is perfect.
