Jstew75 Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Good Morning SU!, I'm kinda getting cabin fever here in central Floride and im thinking about going night fishing tonight. my question is does anyone night fish in winter the low tonight is 60 and the water temps are still in the 70s what shout i go throw would i be wasting my time throwing a Shizzard or phoney glide or should i keep it top water? Thank you for the help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefchris Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Wake baits at night, slammers, rats, etc, vary retrieves and hold on, fish that bait all the way back to shore/boat, I’ve had fish hit right as I was about to lift the bait out of the water. i like letting the bait sit until all the splash rings go away and leave the bait there for a minute or longer (sometimes) give it a couple twitches or reel cranks, pause, twitch again, pause and retrieve. A lot of hits/hookups have come on that first twitch. Amistoad and biggfeast 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassturds Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 I was getting night fish thanksgiving week up here in Ma. Water temps in the 40s. Go give it a Shot. Fish slow! You’ll get bit. Just find what they want. A soft bait slow rolled? A big wake bait? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogervang Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 That's perfect night fishing weather, during winter. Haha you can throw glides but top water and wake baits are key for night fishing, imo.

waynem Posted December 23, 2019 Report Share Posted December 23, 2019 Yup, I tossed a couple of casts out today but the bait just bounced across the ice. Mossypumpkin, bassturds, Rogervang and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishDr Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I wish I lived somewhere that stayed warm enough to throw wake baits all year, without having to watch them go skittering across the ice (use a side-arm cast when the lake is frozen - you ding up the Slammers less that way). I'm glad you were able to get on the fish with the wake baits. And yes, I'm jealous - my lakes and ponds are locked up with 2 - 8" of ice.

Amistoad Posted December 24, 2019 Report Share Posted December 24, 2019 I’m going to give it a go in the next couple of days. My local lake has been on the downturn since mid-October. Thinking night might be the way to go with some rats. Fingers crossed! Mossypumpkin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
