As a bank-bound fisherman I've been noticing that once it gets totally dark the bite pretty much stops, well on Benbrook for me anyway. Last night I was getting hits on cut shad, liver, and punchbait but about 9 o'clock everything went dead...is it just me or could my baits/tactics use a little tweaking at twilight?

Thanks for any advice/info,

Maybe using live baits

I say use live baits and cut bait. Also maybe try a different depth than where your at before sun down.

You have to wait until later in the night I find the bite starts to pick back up after midnight usually 1-2am produces pretty well for me.

this.
but only when he comes fishing with me, and doesnt bail

Could have something to do with the wind. On my favorite lake, if the wind stops, the fish shut down.

I night bank fish and find that i catch a lot of fish after mdnight. Just have to wait them out.
