We got together with a couple of guys for a night trip to crystal lake.We fished from 8pm till 3am.the other guys did pretty good no real lunkers but decent fish.Nextlevel and I got 4 bass 3 largies and 1 smallie.we fished jigs,spinners baits,chatter baits,top water,and senko's.the smallie was about 2lbs maybe a bit more nextlevel got him on the chatter bait.the rest of the fish were caught on senko's.I had a bunch of blow ups on top water but they kept coming unbuttoned. Confused

For our first time out night fishing it was great can't wait to go again.

yeah it was definitely a good time. i will definitely be doing it quite a bit now. once again it was great fishing with you. that smallie was fun to catch while trying to turn on my headlamp. Very Happy

can't wait for the gardner tourney. thanks chuck. it takes a little getting used to not being able to see much but after awhile it wasn't too bad at all. of course we had a full moon last night too so the visibility wasn't too bad. i'm sure it won't always be that bright.

My eyes adjust well... It always helps if there are some houses with lights on... the reflection is a nice help...

Nice job Senkobandit and Nextlevel. I have never tried night fishing but will make plans to try it and see how it is.

Definitely SkeeterRon! I notice lately I have been looking up at the moon more and more on certain nights and wondering how night fishing is under a full moon. Gotta give it a try! Very Happy

SkeeterJim,

When you were looking up at the moon, your face was feeling more hairy then usual was it? or howling going on? Laughing

SkeeterRon how'd you guess? Yes it was more hairy than usual only because I forgot to shave that day and the only one howling these days was my wife! Wink
