Hello guys and gals! I see we have a virgin night largemouth fisherman. I would like to start out by saying hang-on, its awesome.. I am from East Texas myself and generaly do a whole lot of night fishing in the hotter summer months.. Maybe I can share some encouraging info.. For starters this is defenitly not the time for finesse fishing.. Infact you might need to break out the heavy artillery. I see your fishing in deeper and clearer lakes than I am used to however the same rules still apply simply becuase its dark.. Bass tend relate more to there other senses after sundown.. Instead of visual they use there sense of smell and vibration as detected from there lateral line more than not to fill there guts once light fades.. My personal favorite baits include a 3/8 ounce to 5/8 once black saphire jig tipped with a black/blue hawg craw for a trailer, a 5/8 ounce lockhart or hildenbrandt spinner bait with a number 5 or greater thumping blade also tipped with a pork chunk of some sort to add bulk, increasing water displacement creating more vibration black of coarse..especially on dark nights, If its a moonlit night I'll tend to add some whites and chartrueses to color selection. Large topwaters are extremely effective as well and can also be used as search baits becuase they cover a lot of water and create alot of attention for those lunkers looking for a big meal.. Large dark colored snake like worms are effective as well rigged either Texas or Carolina style depending on the structer or cover fished, these baits are more effective fished SLOW!! And last but not least and infact when it gets slow and nothing else seems to do it rig up a black/blue on dark nights or black/chartreues on moonlit nights hawg craw on a carolina rig with a 24-36 inch leader and atleast a 3/4 ounce weight and drag it over every peice of structer you can find.. Did I mention hang on!! In my experience bass seem to be way more aggresive at night then in daylight, during the dog days of summer anyhow... Cheers to your success and good luck.. P.S. send me some picts.. SAVE HUNT`N & FISH`N STOP PETA http://www.huntn.biz/8669

Here we go guys, heres my report night fishing clear lake, I drove, 10:30 PM with my Friend after work, we took the long way, he said he get dizzy on 175, so we arrive in the lake 1:00AM set-up the tent and put some burger on the grill, I was in the water by 2:45am water was dead clam moon is bright almost perfect, tried everything I was told, its been slow, but I caught fish here and there 1.5 to 3, then I decided to use ms slammer, I know theres no trout there, but, as I recall from Rob's evaluation on slammer, it creates enough noise or wake to get bass attention, I have my basspro 7.5 MH with Daiwa Millionaire, cast it near the tullies, 5th cast big splash and pull my line, whooow manage to hook it, it was 4.5 lbs a few 2 more 4lb'er awesome, then start throwing jig with baby brush hog trailer, boy they are killing it, good fishing except lost my cellphone on the water, when I was trying to answer it when my buddy it trying to call me, I was about to answer it then I had a bite "you get the picture". Thanks to all for all your help sorry no pics. cant afford digital camera yet, I only use my cellphone and some buddies camera. none available that night.. Overall good fishing.
