bite all night long? Cam someone go up at midnight and catch them until daybreak?

 

[Fins]

Thearetically Yes, However perch and bluegill will sometimes bit all day but there are certain times when it is best. I would concentrate on the 7 pm - 10 pm and 5 am - 8 am.

 

[Can't Touch This]

Yes, they do when its at peak. We fished until midnight once, never can close to slowing down, it picked up, i mean, go to sleep i nthe day, wake up at 7, go out until daybreak, should ahve about 500 by morning

both times i went last year we did not get onto the lake till 9:30ish.the first time they bit good untill midnight and shut down till almost day break. the second time we where into fish from the time we drilled our holes till the time we left at 8 the next morning.

Hey Flydunker.. Don't know if you saw this post, but it sounds like they were having decent luck all night

One night last year,in early march our group(3) took home close to 400. I snipped 12 dozen. 300am. They were still going strong when we called it.I talked to 2 guys that stayed `til 500am, they had 500.Now thats a full bucket. Lots of doubles,way fun on a noodle rod/hali & tear-drop. A good light seems to up the odds for extreme #`s if thats what your after consistantly.

thanks for the information guys. Bgoodenow i think i am going up in the morning (FRIDAY ABOUT 3 AM) I want to fish for smelt until day break and then head out after lakers to try my luck. I have never fished for lakers but it sounds like they have been doing well. Garyrodbender are you going to be on the water friday? maybe I will see you.

Good luck! Let me know how you do for both smelt and lakers! We did some laker fishing on a deep lake in Canada last year. We caught a few, but we also caught quite a few Ling Cod... Don't know if Higgins has Ling, but if it does, you'll love pulling one of them up too! They like to wrap around your arm like an Anaconda! Good eatin' though!
