anbody got a clue as of how to catch those bass at nite on that lake? i fished a tourney the other night and those guys were bringing in 19lb to win it! what kind of lures do you use and what depth are the fish? I was fishin with soft plastic and spinnerbaits and couldnt get them to bite! only caught three fish the whole night! any advice would be helpful! thanks!

Sounds like somebody was fishing near the dam to get a sack that size this time of year.

With a bright moon a buzz bait works well night fishing too.

What type/size blade were you using?

Try a big 3/4 ledge buster spinnerbait with a single nickle willow blade, black or red black skirt. Below the dam.

yeah i used a midnight special spinnerbait with a big colorado blade on it...had a black and blue skirt! the guy who caught that sack said he went up into new lake and brought out all largemouth! would a trailer of some kind work or increase my odds any? I used the buzzbait some to try and cover some water but with no luck! Yeah the full moon had a big factor on the fish

My favorite night lures for big bass are a black hula popper or black jitterbug.

Most of the time if I am throwing a blade at night I am using a black/red with a number 5 colorado blade. I like the War Eagle spinnerbaits, but I will replace the factory blades with Arbogast #5's. I think those blades give off more and faster vibration than a larger blade.

I use trailers,but to be honest I have not seen a huge difference in the number or size of the fish I catch. I will tell you that some nights those fish will hit the bait just enough to pull the trailer the off or just bump the blade.

I throw my night baits on braided line for the increase in line sensitivity. You can feel a fish fart in the water with that line.

thanks guys! so what im gettin at is that fish go for the vibration and noise that the spinners and buzz baits give off correct!

Did you fish the 6 to midnight or the 7 to 1? We fished the later, caught two fish and at midnight put the boat on the trailer and headed home! Fishing for us absolutely was horrible...

i fished the 7 to 1! we caught 2 fish on a crankait right b4 dark then caught anuther one at midnight! I dont get ot fish as much at the lake like i want or need to so its hard for me to find the fish!
