Bass Night Fishing

Bass Night Fishing is a great time to land that elusive Bass Hog but the most important thing to remember is safety.

Safety Recommendations:

Do not forget the cell phone and the article I wrote telling you to let someone know where you are going and what time you should return If you are going to be later than the agreed upon time, call and let the person worrying about you know.

More than likely you will be the only one on the lake so if something happens you are on your own.

My number one rule is life jackets must be worn at all times; I also have a cushion with a rope tied on to it to throw just in case.

Suspenders that fit like a vest and are very comfortable to wear are available to buy. In fact, I have finished the night fishing and was putting the boat on the trailer and my buddy told me I could take off my life jacket now that I was no longer in the water. I forgot I had it on.

I like the ones that are off the neck they will keep you cooler on those hot muggy nights. They have different models where if you fall into the water they will inflate on their own or they have a rip cord; either way it will save your life.

Number two rule is to keep the deck clear at all times. You do not need a lot of things lying about that will either get kicked over the side or trip you possibly sending you head first into the water.

The landing net is positioned at the driver’s seat as a midway point. My partner and I both know where it is when the time comes to use it.

I like to keep no more than the rod I am using or one in hot standby; tackle is done before it ever gets dark. I tie on my worm that they tore up last time, and a Midnight Special (Spinner Bait) on the other.

I have a 3 million candle power flash light usually on the seat next to the driver’s seat to use for Bass Night Fishing.
