When you guys night fish for huge bass, what kind of baits do u use? And how would you light your boat so that you can still see but not scare away the fish?

For me it is big power worms!! The color doesnt seem to matter at night so i just fish the same colors i would during the day. Also, they hammer the bait so hard and swim off with it, i dont use lights, no need to feel the line or watch it twitch as the fish usually thump it HARD and run. Maybe i can function better at night though, ive been doing it weekly for 20 years. Im not knocking the whole blacklight theory however. Good luck. Shawn

Ditto on the power worms, I have caught some of my biggest double digit bass on these worms. I use the pumpkinseed color 7" to 10". About the light all I use is a head light, when I feel the thump I set the hook and then turn on the switch to my head light. There are a few guys in my Bass club that do have the black lights but it's just easyer for me to use the other, like the other person I have been doing it for around 20 years also. Steve

Terry Battisti did an article a while back with Cris Vanclef and I for Bass West mag about night fishing. It was re-published recently on westernbass.com at:
