I love night-fishing for catfish.
This past weekend, I caught my limits in one night.
-
A long time ago in Stockton California. It was calm and peaceful. I enjoy the night more than fishing lol
-
It's a lost night if you don't fish when you are by a lake or river for the night.
-
Yes I have and when hungry when just grill the fish we caught over an open fire on the spot as we continue to fish over night.
-
That sounds like camping and surviving in the wild.
-
Not as much anymore
A lot of my local park have 11 PM restrictions
No overnight parking
The pig will come and harass you
Give you tickets and shyt
Just ain’t worth all the hassle
-
Go where there are no restrictions.
-
i just day fish
maybe hit the evening
these pig likes to harass people
got nothing better to do
ain't worth the headache
and $100 ticket

It was a beautiful night under a full moon. Mini camping for those who don’t fish lol
-

Got nothing to do but harass fisherman

Go where there are no restrictions if you want to fish at night. Bigger fish come at night.
-
Night fishing is great! Bigger catfish feed more so at night. Bigger sturgeons feed more so at night. In summer time under full moon. One can catch bigger largemouth bass as well.
But watch out, as sometimes the big alligator snapping turtles will come out too close to shoreline.
-
Where I am, there are no gators.
Snapping turtles have bitten my fish before.
-
So, last week, I was out at 2:00 a.m. fishing and a White guy came by. He said his pals and he had wanted to catch cats, too, but they didn't know they'd catch anything that late. I told him night was much better for cats. So, I showed him my three fish that I got up to that point. He took a photo of the biggest of the three.
I was using just dead minnows: 5 onto the hook.
He was surprised how that worked. He said he felt smelly oatmeal balls worked best. I said most anything that smelled works.
Something was pulling my line as we were talking. He said that looked like a bite. It was.
So, I gave him a fish and he made me a Y-stick to set my pole onto.
-
I was gonna go out last night, but fell asleep. :D
Then I was gonna go out this morning, but my body was just not moving.
-

You've caught too many fish. That's what it can mean.

It's too hot now. All you'll get are softshell turtles and yellow bullheads.
-
Okay. So, I tried night-fishing again last night and caught 5 cats.
Still good weather.
-
Nice. I'm gonna wait until my days off to go. Hopefully won't be to worn out by then. Or leave for fishing right after work, that will be like midnight by then.
-
Where I went, I was still catching cats at 4 am.
-
Finally decided to go catfishing at night. They were biting, mostly just small ones. I did finally catch one bigger one. I had two tugs on different occasion that led to snaffu on the bottom of rocks or logs or something and lost my rigs.
-
At least you tested it and had fun.
-
Since the fishing laws have changed and now allows us to drop shot rig, perhaps I need to set it up this way. More or less a three way swivel rig type. Maybe less bottom snaffu.
-
Good idea.
I don't have a special set-up. Just hook with bait and then a sinker 9" or so away on the line and cast. I do this for anything--crappies, bass, eyes, cats, etc.
-
Went and did some more night fishing. It was slow and wasn't getting anything biting so decided to use artificial lures. Tossed out the Mepps #5 Aglia and after a few casts bam! caught a walleye.
-
Cool.
I will go back for night-fishing for cats in a month.
-
It's hot, but windy today...maybe a good night to go catfishing. :D
-
I might go this Friday or Saturday night. We'll see.
But just catch and release this time. I haven't used up the ones I last caught.
