Anyone have general tips for nite techniques during the sPawn? I want to take a friend of mine that can't go during the day. Either that or i am too ugly to look at in the daytime. Whatever the case, advice would be nice!

Use a cork and a jig, typically black/chart is good at night. Fishing is best at night during spawn.

minnows and lanterns.

That is all the info you need, as long as your're in the right spot. Oh yeah if you don't jig minnows of course.

At night I would lean more towards minners under cork if u can't fish vertical.. That's literally the only time I wld go to live over jigs simply because u hv less of a visual advantage. Lot more likely to pitch it up into the the tree rather than around it just cus u can't see as well. Of course w a minna u are still having to pitch the rig out there, but a lot less often. If u can fish vertical at all its all jigs of course. Idk how much I believe it but a lot of guys say the bigger females are more active on beds at night, to me that means fish a bigger area around a bed site in hopes of catching females coming, or hanging just off the beds.

Also, a lot of times, if water temps are in the mid-50s, and fish aren't shallow in the day, they'll be shallow at night in force. Also, try fishing around lighted areas.
