What kind of fish is that? And what lake did you pull it out of?

We live right on the lake here and we exclusively fish walleyes at night when they move up into the shallow weed edges to feed. Usually a very enjoyable time for us - all the jet skis and powerboats are gone off the lake, on 4,000 acres of water there might be only us and one or two other boats on the lake. Wife and I have been doing it for 30+ years, we have our boat equipped with red LED deck lighting, sometimes if we end up 15 or 20 miles from our dock at midnight to 1:00 in the morning and get caught in fog, we'll spend the entire night on the lake and come in in the morning.

Very peaceful, many times we don't care if we catch any walleyes or not, if it's a clear night it's incredibly beautiful out there on the water at night.

Lake Eufaula in Oklahoma is not very crowded at all. Some areas of the lake you can fish all day and never see a boat. Of course there are areas that the speed boats and party boats hang out but they usually stay in the open water areas. Night fishing other than the campground areas is wide open. Back in the eighties the lake had more traffic. Nowadays not so much. Gas prices and the lack of facilities around the lake is a factor.

On Bull Shoals and Norfork reservoirs here in north central Arkansas, most of our fishing is at night anchored near fish structure with green lights over the side to attract shad. We are allowed to use up to a 6x6 foot section of 1" or less gill net to catch the shad for bait. Never know what will visit the lights.

That’s how you do it.

You, my friend, must have never gone, or at least not when it was good!

I have a place, where you catch nothing in the daytime, but at night, all the stripers are over 30" long, many over 40".

But even on the local lake, a submersible green light brings this:


The problem is not catching, it's keeping the smaller ones from grabbing your bait first.

Where is that at?
