night bite?

[Alaskan Joe]

I like night fishing. If the weather is decent, I am sure that I will be out during the midnight hours of the opener....

I plan on doing some of the nite thing but maybe not the opener. I always said why fish at nite when we can get them in the day. My buddie loves the nite fishing,thats what he does most.

Night bite might be off this season. At least where everyone trolls. Fish will be deeper. A few males might still be lurking in the shallows but I don't think it's gonna be everyone limits out bite. Gotta figure the water temp we have now is basically a month ahead of schedule. The spawn on Oneida and some other smaller lakes is well over with. What will be nice is those big slob females will be rested up and hungry. If there's bait on Seneca shoal, you can be sure it's gonna have eyes on it. Otherwise I'd look at the slag piles off the windmills. Emerging weedbeds. Or other places that hold bait. A jig and minnow is a great bait for weedbeds. Or it could be off bite from post spawn. Water temp is 45 at water intake. Gotta figure it's warmer in the shallows.

I love the night bite. It can really put you captain skills to the test. If the weather is right I will put in at hamburg and make a few passes.
