flaswimbaiter Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Using walking type baits at night has been more productive for me than daytime. I get better results if I use long pauses between short walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacklemanTybs Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 i sure hope so, i got a black/purple giant punker special for night fishing the smaller walkers worked for me in the past so hopefully the bigger baits will also produce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jfish Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Stripers love them punkers anytime anwhere. I've personally found that when the conditions are prime for this type of bite (warmer water)-I get more and bigger fish on a wake bait. Lakes and experiences vary but I think the noise production of the wake bait and moving in a straight line helps the fish find it and eat it easier under low light conditions.

Infidel Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I get better results if I use long pauses between short walks. I'm with Florida on this. The LONG PAUSE has been the key for me fishing giant walking baits regardless if it is day or night and regardless if I am chasing the green ones or the grey ones. There are a few times when they have been straight out busting trout and you can't fish a Punker or 2x4 fast enough, but that is the exception to the rule in my experience.
