Night Fishing Tips That Lures More Fish

In my previous post about night fishing tips for beginners and retirees (because I'm one), I wrote about some of the pre-trip precautions that one should take in order to maximize the returns from a night out trying to wake up the fish and get them to bite. Those are quite important as they deal with some safety issues which everyone should pay attention to, because if you aren't alive and bobbin', you ain't gonna fish no more. I might include a few more here but there should be more than enough to ensure your trip out under the cover of night is a thoroughly enjoyable one. The rest of it will focus on what you can do to improve the size of your catch, since having more fish reeled in will make the trip not only a fun one, but worthwhile.

What fishing methods can you rely on that work and help net lots of fish? Whether it be bass fish or otherwise, most species will rely on a sense of smell when seeking out food at night. We should therefore try to take advantage of this habit or feature to get what we want. One quick thought that comes to mind would be to use a chum line. Another would be to depend on fishing a live bait. This can be done beyond the chum slick, and many others also do it on the bottom to get similar results. These all work well be it bass or other types of fish. The key is that you can do it without any daylight.

Your harvests from night fishing can also be improved by the fact and another tip from me that there are many fish species that do hunt for food at night. And if you are able to attract some, my bet is that you will be able to get the rest of them coming to your bait easily. If you can create or find a fish frenzy, be prepared for a whale of a time getting all the fish you want. With a good chum slick, some of my results have been even better. I get a lot of fish coming to feed together, and they just catch onto the lure with little effort from my part, since they come in huge schools or droves and just do not appear to be as crafty as they are usually in the daytime.

Another couple of minor tips that might make some difference is to look out for full moon nights. I'm not exactly sure how it works but supposedly they make the fish rely solely on the senses for bait or food but they are also quite sensitive, which means that I normally ensure the line and lure are both lowered gently to ensure little disturbance in the water. This is a skill that must be perfected if one intends to do crappie fishing at night. If done with little care, the fish will all be irritated and start moving away from the source of that. I certainly do not want that to happen since my main purpose is to get all of them in before dawn breaks and I return home to bed!
