I am about to head out to HUNT Large Mouth Bass , Yes it is 9:15 PM and the sun is down
But it was 90 degrees + today and the bass bit better after dark when the day was hot
I only keep channel catfish and let the Bass go
I am going to use 3/8 oz chunks of lead , I cast onto spinner baits
Tonight I will try Black first , but if that isn't working
I will switch to Chartreuse as I have had good catches at night with it
I add a trailer hook and a 3" twister tail to the trailer hook
Some of my spinner baits have willow leaf blades
But I find at night a pair of over sized ( larger than normal ) Colorado , a #4 and a #7 seem to send out more vibrations
IMO the Vibrations are what the bass go after
I will first try a pair of Private ( at a hunt club that I am a member of ) 5 - 6 acre ponds that have a good number of 2-3 Lb bass and some 6+ Lb bass , no one ever seems to catch the larger ones in the daylight
Also about 10 years back I stocked Channel Catfish in them , lots of fun and darn good eating
Then if I have not donated to much blood to the Skeeters
I will fish a shallow state wildlife pond , 40 acers that gets hit hard in the summer and most people only catch a few bass
LOL They don't try after dark or they would
Interesting to have the police and game warden called on you , just because no one thinks I be up to anything good after dark
Monday night a police officer just laughed when he saw my stringer of 4 catfish
He is a member of the Hunt Club , but only hunts with a camera most of the time
Now almost 9:45 PM , time to go fishing
