One of the key ingredients to have a successful night fishing trip is picking a good night fishing location. There is one common thread that seems to cross over from species to species of fish such as walleye, crappie, bass and catfish and that is they all cruise the shallows in the twilight looking for a easy bait fish meal. The trick is to find a good night fishing feeding ground that will work with your night fishing equipment.
1.0 How to locate good night spots for walleye, catfish, crappie and bass off of rocky points.
It has been my personal experience to look for night fishing locations for these species that are not on the windward side. Here is a few tips of what to look for. Since I fish from a pontoon boat I look for spots that will hold my anchors and 9 times out of ten I end up fishing off of rocky points on the side opposite where the wind is coming from. One of my favorite spots that I have caught many fish from is of off rocky points that are adjacent to sandy beaches. I like to anchor so my pontoon is just out of the wind. I then cast a couple of poles of my poles toward the shoreline along the break of sand to hard pan or rocky bottom. You will need to do some trial and error to find the “sweet spot location” You will want to set your anchors and drop your underwater fishing lights for the night here. Once you are anchored for the night cast your other poles close to your underwater fishing lights.
2.0 How to locate good night spots for walleye, catfish, crappie and bass adjacent to main waterways.
Another great night fishing location that I have good luck at is in secluded back water areas that have good access to the main waterway. Look for stumps or submerged structure that are on the edge of the backwater close to the access point to the main body of water. These are the locations you will set up for at night. I drop two submerged light sources that are near the submerged structure or stumps but night right on top of them. The submerged lighting will attract plankton and then bait fish in a short period of time. I fish with bobbers and live bait just outside the edge of the underwater fishing lights light beam. Set you’re the depth close to the bottom. You may have to adjust your depth a bit until you start catching fish. I have caught a variety of night feeders using this method that include walleye, crappie, bass and catfish. These spots are perfect if you go night fishing and it is a very windy night.
I hope the information I have provided about submerged fishing lights and locations will help you on your next fishing trip! God bless and a good day to you.
