Night Fishing 101

Night fishing isn't just about throwing a line in the water and hoping for the best. It's a whole different ballgame, and we've got it down to a science. We use a mix of techniques, from drifting live bait to working topwater lures that make a commotion stripers can't resist. You'll learn to feel the bite when you can't always see it, and trust me, there's nothing quite like the rush of a big striper hitting your lure in the dark. We'll show you how to use light to your advantage, whether it's attracting bait or spotting the telltale signs of feeding fish. And don't worry about fumbling around in the dark - our boat is set up with just the right lighting to keep you safe and comfortable without spooking the fish.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass are the stars of our night show, and for good reason. These bruisers are known for putting up a fight that'll have you grinning from ear to ear. During the night, stripers often move into shallower waters to feed, which means we can target them in areas that might be too busy during the day. They can grow to impressive sizes, with some topping 40 pounds or more. The best part? Night fishing often brings out the bigger fish that are more cautious during daylight hours. Stripers have a knack for explosive strikes, especially on topwater lures, which is heart-stopping in the dark. Their seasonal runs make them a favorite target from late spring through fall, with some of the best action happening in the summer months. Besides their fighting spirit, striped bass are prized for their firm, white flesh that makes for excellent eating if you decide to keep your catch.
