View Full Version : Topwater at night
numbskull 07-28-2007, 02:38 PM Go for it! Tried these last pm, surf howdies, a great daytime plug....by the light of a big hazy moon. Knew fish where around, picking away and lots of bumps with a teaser and needle. Said , "why not ?", had heard of others having success. Unbelievable result! Fish just blasted the thing over and over. Never have I seen bass strike so hard at night. Not bragging size fish (I don't think they were there), but 15-20 lb bass going bezerk over and over on a topwater plug in the moonlight has me smiling still. Lesson learned.
ProfessorM 07-28-2007, 02:43 PM Nice George. I got tons of fish this spring on the same plug, but copied by me, sorry John. The fish just loved the action. Glad to hear they work at nite.
Tagger 07-28-2007, 02:56 PM How were you working them George ? walking them like a spook or waking them like a floating needle .. ?

Working them, walk the dog style, same as I do during daylight, maybe a little slower.....but they'd chase it fast too, just had a harder time hitting it.
Tagger 07-28-2007, 03:21 PM cool ... spooks at night ,,:kewl: needles during the day

Flaptail 07-28-2007, 07:03 PM No wonder I couldn't sleep.
EricM 07-29-2007, 01:07 AM Got a howdy delivery incoming and I now plan to put them to work on the night shift, good tip.
JohnR 07-29-2007, 08:10 AM George - I'm a big fan of Howdys and Spooks at night - I think they are way under fished at night... :btu:
Eric - PM on the way
In The Surf 07-29-2007, 11:00 AM Cool beans!
Had a similar night on the same plug in purple haze.
High teens & 20# class fish for nearly 3 hours. It was the first of back to back nights of mayhem at the same location.
Casting Z's 07-29-2007, 11:01 AM At night? Needles and Slug-go's only up here! Are you guys serious?
The only other option is chunk.
