With the excess amount of pleasure boaters on the water I decided I am gonna start night fishing to avoid all the idiots on the water. With that being said I have not done a lot of night fishing so a little guidance would be appriciated . I know black spinner bait single Colorado and white crank bait theory. My question is do I just fish how I normally would meaning normal spots and normal baits or is there a way to be more productive at night?

I don't think you have to change much. I think the dark color thing is a bit overblown. You can catch them fine on white spinnerbaits after dark. I personally like a slow rolled chatterbait or a 10 inch worm for night fishing. Topwater can be fun too if you have enough moonlight to see what's going on.

Ive always done well with a 10-12" Black Worm with blue flake.

The Berkley power worm. I dont think either that you "have" to use darker colors, but something that is black sillouettes / contrasts better than anything else and if it gives you more confidence, like it does me, then its a benefit.

Alright well that makes sense thanks guys.most of my fish I did catch were on black trick worms but I could catch any size so next time I will try dragging around a big worm.

I love night fishing. Now that it's not 38 degrees every night I plan to start doing more of it.

I catch a lot of fish on smaller worms at night, too...from finesse worms to 7-inch Power Worms.

Culprit Worms in Red Shad work for me.

Night fishing is the best. I mainly use worms because I have found you really have to slow your retrieve plus any scented lure (especially LFT) is a bonus.

OK so slow down and throw plastics .....what about jigs and crankbaits are they effective at night?

worms, topwaters, chatterbaits are my main night fishing lures.

The thing to remember about night fishing is the color isn't really important - it's the silhouette the bait produces that matters. Can color help, for sure. But I think size and shape of bait is way more important. I like a worm with ribs too at night. . .hags are awesome.

Weightless bulk/blue senko!! Nuff said!

Black buzzbait with a ten inch power worm on the trailer. Unbelievable how many bass we would catch at fork at night over grass beds!
