re: OT - Any largemouth bass fisherman here?

I've been using topwater lures, would I use the same if I fished at night?

As a general guideline, "top water" lures (lures that float::skit-r-pop, frog, shallow crank bait) are best to use at dawn and dusk. Night time fishing you can have good luck with one extreme or the other. A large black worm fished slowly on the bottom, a buzz bait flying across the surface, and a jitterbug are all keys to any good night time bass fishermans arsenal. All depends on the conditions. If they're active they'll be more likely to hit the fast and loud stuff on top. If it's really hot or cold they'll be more likely to hit the big slow worm.


I personally like fishing top water because even if I catch 2 fish as opposed to 5, there's nothing quite like seeing that explosion at the surface of a bass destroying your lure
