Anybody else had the pleasure?

Fish bite the best, line tangles the most.

Just last night

I go out on a local reservoir about an hour before sunset. Let the wind drift me. Drag frogs along the bottom. Catch channel cats.

Used to fish the city of Scranton after 10 PM in the summers with a buddy of mine.

The freaks come out at night.

I’m hoping to be the envy of y’all here in a bit. lol

We do all our Bullhead fishing at night.Also used to do all our Sucker spearing at night.

Yup, did those as a kid but I bass fished at night alot and would switch to bullheads if bass weren't hitting that particular night. I ice fished calico & bluegills at night for sure.

brown trout fishing the Hex hatch at night.
The Hex hatch is the largest mayflies in N. America.
Flies hatch starting after dark.
On a good hatch there are flies everywhere.
They land on your face, in your hair all over you.
Wading a river in the dark, feeling your way around.
The trout feed wildly. the rises to the flies sounds like someone is tossing rocks in the river.
The largest Browns are out and feeding heavily.
You cast your flies to the sound.
When you hear a rise you set the hook or you feel the hit and strike.

Nothing like it.

I used to night fish many nights during the Spring and Summer. Most of the spots near where I live now close at dusk.

Michigan, as well as States west are blessed with a ton of little lakes where there is only a 2-track leading to a drag mark at the lake’s edge.

Back in 1990 my youngest son was station at Grand Forks AFB in ND so me, being alone as a relatively new widower went to visit. As I drove from Michigan towing my 12’ boat, through Wisconsin, and into North Dakota I fished and bushwhacked camped every night on little lakes as I previously described and ate fish every day!!!

yep, most fun you can have fishing

The best walleye bite happens after dark.

How many nighttime bass fisherman on here ever used the Shakespeare Glo-lite Mouse for bass?

Yep, good fishing, but my eyesight makes it difficult.

Used to do a lot going after catfish, I just don’t take the time anymore.

Have caught tons of catfish at night. Best night i had a 48lb flathead 2 that were 15-18lbs and a channel cat about 10lbs. Water was flooding. Have had nights i have caught 50+ fish all channels and blues but none were big big fish.

Here’s the evening in a nutshell.

On the way there……

That video looks like a stunted elk.

Cause they are.

Missed your opportunity for fresh Surf and Turf, lol

Green Bay has a group of dedicated shore anglers known as Monster Squad. They target trophy walleyes and muskies. They usually fish all night long with the best action between 3 and 4 am. Kind of funny when some guys are getting up early to hit the dawn bite and Monster squad is about calling it quits for the day.

The thought crossed my mind. lol

Had never heard of these so looked it up. Pretty cool old lure.

Used to bass fish till after dark then go frog gigging. Those were some great times. Now I mostly shore cast for walleyes during the full moon period. Almost screamed like a little girl a few times. Ya look down and there's a big old coon looking right at you. One time had an otter swim right up to me and do that chat bark noise they make. Things like that make life interesting.

In these parts night fishing for bass is about it. TOO many buckeyes on the lake with their wake boats and cruisers to fish. Get your guts beat out plus too hot.
Black lights
fluorescent line
Hand tied jigs
Hang on !

we drag cut bait for cats, bluegills or shad.
before dark will run 6 rods, two off the back and 4 planer boards, after dark two boards and two off the back.

Leopard frogs are my favorite bait for flathead catfish

Musky fishing after dark with a topwater lure can be pretty exiting.

Zim

Fishing for anything with top waters after dark is very exciting. You hear the splash and wait to feel the weight before setting the hook. Or sometimes you just can’t wait and set the hook anyhow. LOL

Big fish in the dark on eels...

They were there too but they weren’t the target.

I do some of my best contemplating and solving all the worlds problems night fishing. LOL

Yes one lake we have walleye on since I was a small kid. You'd be lucky to catch a fish there before dark.
