I can relate to getting owned by a huge bass at night.. I've been broke off by quite a few at night but there's one that hit my 3/4o rattle trap and I'd be damned if he didn't swim straight for the only tree stump for 20 yards and proceed to wrap around it and I was rearing back trying to stop him but the drag was coming out and i got a good look with my headlamp right before he broke me off that image sticks in my head every time I go past that stump..

Caught my PB 6lbs up in CT my first time night fishing last month on a floating 6inch swim bait. Even had fireworks going off less than 5 minutes after almost as if congratulating me! lol definitely a believer in night fishing now

I love the night fishing videos. We need more of these each year

Excellent. But a Buzzbait is a must for me. Pat Cullen caught 1,113 10 lb plus bass at night on primarily Buzzbaits.

I love fishing at night. My top 4 bass were caught at night. My current favorite night fishing lure is a Jackall Pompadour Jr.

I never thought I would like night fishing till I found out that there's a lot less pressure and a lot less anglers at night, then it became kind of my fav.....

From the first part of July threw the fall I do the vast majority of my fishing in the dark, good thing about working second shift and getting off work at 11 pm. But I have most definitely had some of my best times fishing at night with the new moon and the full moon! Great video as always!!

thanks for doing another nite time vid, Tim. I fish at nite and echo your comments on not using too much light at nite. When i move from spot to spot, i see a bright white headlamp. However once i get near, I immediately change to a green headlamp. it’s perfect. I know green doesn’t spook fish and it gives me plenty light in the boat as well. I have option for red too, but green much better imo. Agree , hard to beat ole Monster or cMac worm. 👍

Red and green headlamps also tend to attract way less bugs I've found. The bugs can get really thick depending on where you live.

Inspiration and motivation given again. I tried a week ago and caught one and only got three bites. I’m gonna reload and try this

Great job Tim. It sparked or rekindled an interest I have not enjoyed since the early 80's when I lived in Florida. Gonna try it here in VA. Thanks Man!

Could you do a video on fishing before and after a thunderstorm. This time of year in florida we have daily heavy storms and could use some tips on landing some bass.

I've always wanted to try this but never felt like there was reward for it, now I shall give er a go thanks guys

Got my R2S Tactical Wake in the mail this weekend. Now I wish I would have bought 2 just so I could save one to display. It looks great in the wooden box it comes in. Nice job guys! It ought to be great in this situation as well. Cant wait to get it out on the water.

I use to night fish for bass back in the 80s using small live bluegill under a bobber,,My best one doing that method was a 27" ten pounder,,all bass were released...

Awesome video. Love the stories!

I’ve been waiting for this video all year!

If you're Texas rigging, use a peg, brass weight and a glass beed for sound. The glass beed can make a big difference at night. It's not so good for day though for me. Also trie supper slow retrieves, hop it and drag it. A lot of times the fish are biting but you can barely feel anything, you just feel a tad of resistance. Don't be afraid to set the hook on any kind of different feeling retrieves. Good luck buddy.

The one I’ve been waiting for. I’m a dim headlight connoisseur lol. I’m partial to those rayovac sportsman cap lights if you can you find one. I pack a brighter one for when needed. Rats (wakes), popping frogs and swimbaits are my favorites

Nice touch I like the box.

Boilers rite next to the boat in the background 🤣 appreciate the tips 💯

Yeah some fish definitely eat at different times. The lake I fish is small but produces. I catch all the bigger ones after 7-8pm. On top water too

Being from AZ. They did allot of fishing at night. And that's something I have not did allot of. But going to have to get out there and start fishing at night for sure.

Love the Big EZ. They make the Little EZ swimmer too.

You mentioned the bug spray, i would add to make sure to avoid using repellent that contains deet. Not for the obvious health concerns surrounding it, but primarily because largemouth HATE it. If you have bug repellent on your hands that contains deet and then handle your lures and touch your line there is a chance they'll avoid it.

Thanks Tim! Gonna toss that Tactical Wakebait next time out!

Even here in ohio I night fish from spring until even Into mid November . My favorite night fishing spot is close to home and gin clear and deep. I will warn you , I fish from a kayak mostly and beavers are either curious or territorial and they tend to swim the banks so it's easy to spook them and vice versa.

Got my 8.09 pb on a six sense underspin with a kvd magic rage swimmer. 9:30 at night.

Just got back from my local pond and had bass schooling up on some threadfin shad and caught my first 3 largies on topwater with a white popper started fishing in pitch black dark at 5 am. I was using a 5'6" medium rod and they were absolutely destroying my popper so hard I didn't even need to hook set. And got shook off by a definite pb largie which isn't hard to beat lmao my current pb is only 3 and a half lbs.

Caught my teener at night using double bladed black buzz bait!

Is the South America fishing video ever getting released?

that california swimjig with a bigEZ has been my go to comb for many years.....

So at night am I fishing in the lighted areas (moonlight) or in the shaded areas (no moonlight)?

Been night fishing for about 3 weeks now on a clear lake, hoping to go into my second tournament feeling confident about reaching a limit, but I am getting my tail kicked. Two fish on any trip, and nothing I have watched videos seem to be clicking. Dragging big black worms around brush piles on ledges, dark topwater lures (at the bank and parallel) wacky rigged in the light and letting it slowly sink then repeat, dragging a craw down rocks, dark chatterbaits in the shallow, the only lure with multiple catches is with a double willow bladed in aurora. I am starting to think I am overthinking this and just need to know where my lay downs and brush piles are in the creeks (like said), and this fish my confidence baits for those situations.

I've caught my biggest bass during low light and at night. frogs and top water hard baits

Tim did Zoom bait co sell and trade hands with someone and doing away with some colors? The color "old purple", especially in the ol monster worm is probably the best bass catching bait to use except in the cold months. You can't find that color very much because it's a special color. Have you ever used any? It's deadly at night and day.

Whopper ploppers and squarebills are also great night time lures.

Protecting your night vision is critical in infantry combat. That and freezing in place when a flare went up were repeatedly drilled into one during training. Night vision while on the water can’t be overemphasized. 👍🏼🎣

my favorite small lake here in nyc, theyve recently been doing some repair work on the dam part so the water level is SUPER low. overall sparse cover,no lily pads, some laydowns but the ends of the laydowns are now in about maybe 1 foot of water. water visibility around 3 feet. anyone got tips? i gave it a try last night, fished from just before sundown to an hour after, no bites. tried swimjigs, spinnerbait, senko/flukes, topwater popper, underspin with a bellows gill

Make sure your fishing around deeper water even if your not fishing deep.In my experience at night on draw downed lakes,look for points that have a deeper side or a small pocket or flat close to some drop off.Jointed wake bait,bigger profile swimbait(6 inch black is what I like),and a chatterbait are my go to.I also throw a skirtless swim jig with a flapping craw trailer with a rattle and it's always darker colors that work for me(my lake is only 1-2 ft vis at most).

I always use a head lamp with red lights. It helps transitions from red like to dark. And it’s not to bright.

Can’t believe you didn’t mention the whopper plopper , I’ve caught all 3 of my 4 PB breakers at night with a big plopper , my recent new PB January 1st in 31 degrees was on a swimbait that got hit skipping a dock tho

A lot of good tips here Tim.. For the life of me I can't figure why people give up on the old school baits such as the jitterbug . When I was younger I had many a good night fishing. You did skip over the main reason I no longer night fish. Mosquitoes!! I don't care how much bug deterrent you use or where you put it They will get you. It seems after you're out for an hour or so they lighten up , that is until you have to load your boat. Then it's Katie bar the door every man for themselves . After you fished as many years as I have you'll understand why I don't night fish anymore.. Fair weather fisherman know.Give me the early morning.

Down here in Oklahoma we used to only fish at night. I'd see people out during the day when I was a kid and I'd wonder why they were fishing during the day. I always thought you was supposed to fish at night. It's too hot to fish during the day down south

Caught a 6 lb 6 oz largemouth this morning that had a full-grown rat sticking out of its throat. Time to start throwing a wake bait!

What is that you guys are fishing on?

Also, can't you use some lights to attract small fish so that the bass come in and then they'll see your lure or bait and take it? I've seen people do that with inshore saltwater fishing. Is that the reason why, that it's different, or would it work for bass fishing as well?

I've heard of people using the underwater green lights to attract bait fish and crappie, which in theory would also attract largemouth feeding on those bait fish. I would imagine they would lurk just outside of the scope of the light and attack the bait fish intermittently. I know that's what largemouth do around marinas and boat docks with big lights on at night.

I've done it this year several times .Quick flash my light on the shallow water shad , especially early in summer,and then throw my lure thru the commotion.It definitely has got me some good bites because in that early summer they are hunting shallow and once their fired up you can get a couple to commit.

I mostly fish for striped bass on northeast coastline so I'm fishing at night 90 percent of time and i always thought about largemouth at night and the majority of this info is what I would tell someone that never fished at night for striper

pick up some fluorescent braid. when i blacklight fish, i prefer to use a fluorescent fluorocarbon or monofilament leader, as opposed to having my mainline fluorescent. I dont know if fish can see UV light bouncing off the line well, but leaders make me feel more stealthy because the only time the line is illuminated is during the cast, as the line is traveling out my guides and through the air. that way i can see where my lure lands, but its usually far enough away that the black light isnt illuminating the leader when the line settles. hope that tip helps.

So stained water and no moon use darker colors ? Clear water and full moon use shad and brighter colors? I've never understood this at night or day. Bait fish, pan fish, crawfish etc are the same color day or night , moon or not ,stained or clear water and the bass are still feeding on them relentlessly. In my opinion it has more to do with covering water and getting your bait in front of more fish for more opportunities. Once you've figured out what color and style bait they want that trip , then put the trolling motor down and cover water
