This is something I have not done much of. We have had success fishing the first hour of dark in late fall/winter, but what about into the night? Has anyone had any success and if so what baits do you usually throw? Same baits you would throw during the summer? Thanks for the input in advance!

I have, but for big 'eyes. I start at dusk and fish until about 8PM or so. Catch a muskie now and again using 7" Fliptail Creatures and a 3/8 ounce jig.

No different than summer other than it is dang cold. I am not a believer that pressure is 'the' factor in night fishing, as we get alot of night bites going on lakes with very very light pressure all season. Fish whenever you can get out. Just remember to push through the 'down' time just after sunset or just start later.
