summer night swimbaiting

Post by Mattlures » Thu Sep 13, 2012 3:57 am

A friend and I went ninja fishing at a golf pond. We started out throwing my baby gill for a bunch of small fish. It was alot of fun but I was hoping for some better fish. Here are a couple of the typical small ones. They were a little bit skinny.

Louie decided to use the regular sized gill and he caught a little better fish.

So I thought it was about time I try out a prototype.
It worked well and I caught a few decent fish.

Then we left and hit up a non ninja spot hoping to find a toad.
I had a monster blow up, which I swung hard and missed and sent the bait flying towards meand into the rocks but it had only a very small chip on the anal fin and a ding in the lexan bill. so back to fishing.
I never did get that big fish to bite again but I got a couple more decent ones

It was nice to get out and stcick some fish. I love warm weather at night and swimbaits!

Nice fish on the baby bass prototype!

Nice pics. I wish the bass were more aggressive here in the NW. I'm still trying to get my first night time fish. It's actually not even legal here in Oregon lol

I'm liking that prototype and I love night fishing. Still trying to find a way to invade out local golf ponds. Probably loaded with pigs that feed on smaller bass.

golf ponds always hold a nice population of fish. It must be the golf ball diet. I bet they really like the chartruese and bright orange balls :lol:

Those monsters start feeding at night.
The lures are huge also.
