i have been fishing for bass at night for a pretty good while now. i just want to give you a couple of hot baits and a tip or 2 and if you would share a couple we'll all be a little better maybe.my #1 bait at night is 1/2 oz. jig. i only use black with a black zoom superchunk on it. i fish it on 2 rods . one is riged with 12#test for open water and points the other pole is rigged with 20# trilene xt. this is the rig i use to flip my jig around lighted boat docks. ##2 bait is a gene lerew hoo daddy jr. this is a creature bait about 3inches long. you can fish this bait anywhere fish swim . you will get bit with this bait on the end of your pole. i texas rig it with a 3/8 oz black worm weight on 12# test line. i love to fish this bait close to shore in the saddle of hollows and washes.the color i like best for night is black with blue flakes.#3 is a zoom salt craw . this craw is doesen't have a lot of mass so i fish it wityh a 1/4 oz weight. on 12# line. i'll work a hole over pretty good with a jig or hoo daddy then before i move i usually give the salt craw a chance. if you get a chance to get out try these and let me know how you did.

Good info. Another bait that I have had loads of success with fishing for bass at night is a black bleading bait buzz bait. You mostly have to fish by sound with these especially if it's pitch black out but it's a blast.

You boys is missing out not fishing a yellow jitterbug with black spots on it of a night. The old rapala minnow with the prop on the nose/tail is hard to beat to.

one other bait i like 30 minutes before dark and on thru the nite is a black 3/8 oz. stanley spinner bait . the one i like best has a single colorado blade (black blade) on it . i like to fish it parallel to the bank as close to the shore line as possiable. i also throw it around the edges of boat docks if the dock doesen't have any lights on.

One i used to use at dawn and dusk was a spinner(can't remember the name) with two spinners. Id bend out the edges of the foreward spinner so it clacked against the second spinners blades as they rotated. made a hell of a racket and just absolutely drove the bass nuts. Even if they were'nt hungry they would attack it because it made em so mad...lol had about a 3/4 to 1oz head and a skirt. Yellow was prime thugh white did pretty good to. Can't find em with those tyopes of spinners anymore, think i got one left.

Well consider this. Chartruse is supposed to be THE most popular or 'bitten' color for fish. They seem to really love it. Now look at yellow next to chartruse, not much differance. One of my favorite crappie jigs and maribou jigs is yellow. My best goggleye lure is a blakemore in a light orange or yellow color with red. Red is also considered to be a strike on sight color like chartruse.

I fish Lake Fork at night alot. Have had some really big bass boated by using a "Brush Hog" by Zoom. I use spider wire and a 1/8 oz. sinker rigged Texas style. Fishin' in no more than 4ft. of water. Pretty much year round. I like Pop R's at night also. Last month while fishin' the brush hogs my buddy boated a 25 lb. Flat Head. It was around 2 am and a new moon. I thought he had the world record bass on until I hit it with a flashlight. Man what a fight.
