AaronM Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Anyone ever fish smallies at night? Thinking about giving it a shot if it's worth it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick in Mud Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I usually don't fish them at night because they're usually going nuts during the day. In fact, I'm pretty sure they start to turn off at night, but I could be mistaken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I've been out on the river and caught them right up until dark but they seem to shut off when it becomes dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RECOIL Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I have caught them at night by accident. Usually when fishing for walleyes or cats. Not often though... not something I would target. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBass Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 Sure they'll bite at nite - well on the river I've caught em after 10PM on buzzbaits in the summer. I've also caught Pike at night and I didn't think they bit after dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
river rat316 Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 They bite at night, especially when there are hatches going on, which is often, if theres no hatch though it could be hit or miss, and they usually turn off shortly after dark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
