Switching to nights?

[eelman]

Killing time before heading out to bang more nails! Anyway when do you break away from the school bass action and start poking around the suds at night? For me its when I think I have a shot at something more than 20 inches. I will start fishing eels sometime around the 16th or 20th of may and then not look back at daylight fishing until next spring. Looking at my past log book from 1993 I went one night on may 15th in the westerly area and walked into fish after fish with nothing less than 20lbs for a good 3 hours 0r so, if you catch fish on the move like that its awesome, That night was one of the rare times I used a plug thats all they wanted, It was a silver bomber 7 inch, they hammered it all night. That was also on the new moon, which is coming up!!!

New Moon this weekend. Should be a slug of good fish on the night tides. Plus it's gonna rain and blow hard SE. That will keep the nitwits in bed.

i went out for a night tide last sunday.. i caugt a bass, but IMO, the water is too cold to really get the fish active. As a rule i switch over to serious night fishing around may 15th..
