Night fishing

Does anyone night fish for sunfish? If so would you go to the same places you would in the afternoon?

I have not fished sunnies at night. Crappies on the other hand i fish very late at night. I have found on certian lakes i catch bigger and more numbers. I like to fish in a little shallower than i would during daylight hours. When the barometer is high i have had a lot better luck right right in the deeper holes of a lake like 25 fow or more. When the pressure is low i like to fish 8 to 17 fow the shallower i go the more weeds i try to find. This has worked on most lakes i have tryed it on maby it will work for you.

funny you brought up this subject.. I have really only had this happen on 1 lake.. But I had a lake, where the sunfish were active in one spot between 11pm and 1am.. monsters.. never caught them during the day.. only at night, and only at those times. I tried like heck to find where they were coming from and where they were going, or find them during the day.. but it was a consistent 10" gill bite.

I have found a couple lakes that i cant catch keeper sunnies on until late at night, never could find them during the day either

Do you guys use glows to help the fish see the lure at night when you're catching the sunfish and are they cruising the bottom or high in the water column?

Everywhere I've been the sunny bite stops just after dusk. If I haven't caught any by then I wont even bother staying when traditionally I don't catch them after dark. If those pigs really do bite late, I might just have to stick around longer! Or fish for Crappies and watch for those lines on the bottom!

Last weekend the sunnies and crappies were biting until 2 am
