Hi all,
I just rigged my boat with lights for night fishing on Old Hickory. My boat now looks like a UFO with all the different colored LED lights on it
The first couple test out trips went well and it is pretty fun. I plan to typically go for a few hours after my young son goes to bed around 8:30pm, so 9 to 11 or so.
I caught a few bass throwing spinnerbaits to grass patches, but was wondering what are good lures and patterns at night. Is it just the same areas as the daytime or do you always fish shallow? How about live bait? Does anyone fish that at night or is it too much trouble? I kind of think slow trolling with big shiners would be a fun way to catch a variety as I learn the night patterns on OH.
Any tips?
Jim
PS - Travis, I read your night fishing safety notes and will definitely follow them. One thing I notice already about the LED lights is other boaters can easily see me and that is a big plus.
