Mossypumpkin Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 What are you guys' favorite night baits? Been doing work on the possum but cant get bit on anything else. Do any of you do well on sinking baits? Thinking next time I am gonna throw my 11" Naits trout in SS. Makes a lot of noise, pushes water, and can be fished on top on a medium retrieve. I suspect that at night, there is no bait too big. Also, What are some good baits for BIG smallies at night? I have a lake nearby I was thinking of fishing off the dock at night. Has plenty of 4+ pound smallies with some 5+ pounders. Also has a few good LM to 5lbs. Was wondering if there is a better choice than slammers and possums..

Jut Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I do ok for the small mouth at night with a all black s waver. I fish it stupid slow with a sped up crank or jerk every now an again. I made a slammer style bait that cranks down 6 ft or so that i been doing ok on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tybo jones Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've done well with Wake Jr and slammers. I like the Jr. cause you can hear it clack and it helps you know where the bait is in the darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish-Styk Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 A large bottom hook black rising son and a punker are worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bass Addict Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 my goto night time bait for smallies is the 7" white slammer. When the smallies are feeding on alawives on top during the night time at the local lakes I fish, I'll dead stick and give the bait a little twitch occasionally then bam, set the hook and reel like crazy. I use the 7" because it's close to the size of the alewives. The smallies will attempt to knock out some of the bait fish while they round them up then turn back and eat the ko ones.

evilcatfish Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 My favorite night baits are most any style rat bait, slammers, rattling punkers, and though I recently lost it, I had a black Hudd I shoved a worm rattle in that got bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodCat Posted July 31, 2013 Report Share Posted July 31, 2013 Bass Wake Jr, 7" white slammer, rof 5 68 special, 175 slide swimmer, or a rm negotiator. Pretty much the same lures I get bit on during the day. Once a week to get my fix I've been going out with nothing but mighty minnows and just crushed bass in the 1-2# range.
