I have had teriffic success fishing at night and consider it the best time. However, the best fishing usually relates to the months of july and august. I have caught fish in September at night but not as many. If there was one period I could fish during July and August it would be night. I use depth raiders, in any color, but have found the lighter colored ones work best. I would suggest finding the largest mid lake structure and working it good. Your usual spots will produce at night also. Hope this helps.

Another great dark time bait is a spinnerbait. Last night I caught my biggest of this season (42") on a black Raddog (w/ silver blade), it has two single hooks and a large single colorado blade. I reel them over weedtops and off of breaklines; the thumping blade calls them in and the fish can easily see the dark outline aginst the bright night sky. Single hooks are much less likely to snag up on weeds and such, and the hooks don't tangle, so an easy bait for a beginner. Don't forget to figure-8, my fish hit boatside on the second go-around. Oh, I added a few drops of scent to the skirt, something extra to entice a following fish. Berkley Power grubs add both scent and more bulk to the body.

Have a great trip!
