I gave some night fishing a try last night. I don't usually start this early in the year, but we've had a hot spell the last few days, with daytime highs around 80. This has finally pushed the water temps up into the mid-to-high 60s, so I figured I'd give it a try.
Well, we caught absolutely nothing! In fact, we fished from 8:30 until about 12:15 and had no action whatsoever. Not a bite, a bump, s slurp or anything similar (fp)
Nothing. Nada, Zilch.
I was surprised, but I wasn't surprised. I think the sudden change in temperatures put the fish into some kind of thermal shock. LOL :rolleyes:
I'll give it a try again soon (yes)

Wow that is surprising.
I started fishing the night tournaments a couple weeks ago. I have a tournament tomorrow night. They run from 6:30 - 12:00
Maybe I can get on a few. Last tournament I caught most on a black and blue spinnerbait with a big Colorado blade very slow rolled.

I have poor night vision so I only fish on a waxing to full moon. The lake I fish has no houses or resorts for light. There are 3 marinas miles apart and very few docks so it is very dark when there is no moon.
I fished 2 times during April moon but it was too dicey to go out on the May moon. Now with the high water I probably won't be out at night till the July waxing gibbous.

Ya, I was surprised too. I figured we'd at least catch a few.
I typically use a black or black/blue spinnerbait with a large single blade also. I make these just for night fishing.
