I was beginning to worry. Too many guys say their chasing bass in the daylight. Are you crazy?? Bass are nocturnal. Even in the Fall they feed with more frequency and with less caution in the dark than in the daylight. If I can see without my necklight then I have no confidence of catching large. |

I use two totally different bags (sets of inserts actually) for my day & night fishing... Very few plugs/ lures are in both! Even my bucktails & rinds are different! 
I'm 90% nocturnal from shore... but in Fall esp. (and early Spring) I'll fish the "right" days! Have had lots of high 20's/ low 30's Bass in daylight-- but like Paul all of my surf Large(r) came at night! |

Have to disagree Piemma. Bass are not nocturnal.....and they don't sleep! They feed day and night! They may be more daring at night but they are opportunistic feeders! I can happily admit I love fishing in the light of day as well as the dark of night! Those who say they don't fish in the daytime are liars!  I like to catch fish and enjoy all that is around me day or night along with a good bite! Topwater fishing is the balls! Seeing the explosion on a popper is the best! Different strokes for different folks but many seem to frown on those that just enjoy fishing!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

i gotta agree. what about all those big fish that get caught during the day down in jersey on pencils? or the canal run in the spring? they're obviously not nocturnal then. i fish primarily at night, but big fish do get caught during the day...

Larry:
You said it best at the end of your post "different strokes for different folks" I just don't have a lot of confidence in the light.

I turn on the running lights, or just the anchor light  |

Its a tough call for me Piemma. I love the daytime...you can see everything! The bait, the birds, the fish often times and always the topwater excitement! Then at night....the challenge of casting into darkness and almost relying on feel and instinct to find the fish and then the sudden jerk on your line and then you can see and hear the splashing! I don't know which I like the most.....50/50 I guess!
