Title: More Night Fishing
Post by: Curt on July 03, 2017, 08:10:53 PM

Hit the water again last night with a buddy and had a decent night. Fished from 9 PM until 2 AM.

Landed 7 bass and lost two good ones. Two of the 7 were shorts, The others were all good fish, with two of them being over 3 lbs.

Caught them mostly on a spinnerbait. I did have one right at dusk on the Salty B-Bug. Lost a really good one on the big topwater bait from Australia I've been talking about lately.

Water temperature was 80 degrees!  :surprised:

Air temps were't too shabby, sticking close to 70 all night. Fished in shorts and t-shirts from start to finish  :nod:

I am envious.  Our lake are loaded with ride around boats full of drunks this time of year plus monsoon season seems to be here with storms every day.

That really stinks  :crying:

Around here, the lakes are extremely quiet after dark. Daytime is a different story, with water skiers, jet skis and other yahoos running all over the place.

I'm hoping the tourists and weekenders clear out before the upcoming full moon.  I plan to go for a night or 2 then more rainy stormy weather is in the forecast.
