Great info Tyler! Great point about treble hooks. I am an optometrist and coincidentally had a patient today who lost an eye to a 1 oz weight that came hurtling back from a snag. Eye protection is critical and night fishermen and women may not think to wear at night. Thanks for all you do!
Literally ended up throwing a frog after dark tonight on instinct stayed out on the boat it the pitch black. Caught a couple on a black walking frog ... thought that was interesting.. Clear water very dark skies. First time really doing this, then came home and you uploaded this !! Haha awesome. Great timing man lol
Love your videos. And some good advice on the treble hooks at night. I have been fishing night tournaments for years and am a real fan of blacklights and glow in the dark line. In the last few years Maxscent baits have become my go to lures at night. Also I like to doctor up my plastics with a q tip and chartreuse dye just dotting them up so they glow under the blacklights. It seems to get me more bites. Also some good things to have are a good head lamp, safety glasses and bug spray! Good luck and tight lines from Cincinnati...
Great information, love night time bass fishing. I night fish from early May -late Sept and usually the only boat on the water most the time. Spinnerbait with the biggest Colorado blade you can find. Buzz-bait, Crankbaits, spray paint a old beat up crankbait black. 10"-12" worms, Manns Jelly worms with big body and paddle tail moves a lot of water. .
Update. Purchased all of these recommendations. $65 total at Jay's sporting goods. Had a good time had plenty of hits untill night, then nothing. Rewatching the video I realized that i had the gear but did not follow through on the Action/Technique.
Tyler, love watching the videos. I've learned a bunch. I have a idea/challenge for a video. I fish once in a while. But I grew up doing it. I like all the gear etc. I'm mostly on my paddle board. It's 23" wide. So when I go I have one smallish flat Plano box crammed full of tackle. One rod and reel. That's it. You're head would pop off if you saw it. What I'd like to see from you is if you only had one flat box of tackle and one rod setup what would you bring. I try to cover too many categories as it is. And I understand it would change according on where you are. I'm in Ny 1hr north of the city. I'm in the Hudson River (dirt water) and the Croton River (clearer water) They blend together where I go. As far as what types of fish are here, Stripers, Blue Fish, Perch, Blue Gill, Sturgeon, Carp, Cat Fish. and others. Hope you or somebody will take up this video challenge. It would help me out. Thanks.
I dont think colour matters either cause ive caught most of my night fish on white lures, i also use a head lamp and only turn it on when i catch a fish
Awesome information Tyler , im going to go fishing with a treble hook because for Christ knows why every time i Texas Rig a treble hook i have the most success catching them , Well i bought a real real real good head lamp for night fishing that comes with night vision and Ty i have been absolutely been Dieing to use to get a chance to use my head lamp and so when i go night fishing im gonna rig up a tube bait on a treble hook and try it out. i remember years ago i caught a catfish on a tube bait.
All great baits for sure! Good video and tips. Try throwing a 1/8oz Chatterbait tipped with a Castaic baby j. Little bait catches big fish! Put it on a spincast setup.
So glad you did a nighttime bait vid. I love fishing at night and always looking for anything new to try. I totally agree with your bait selection as it right there with mine. And yes, the wobble head at night on points can be deadly. as much as I love Topwater at night, most of my bites this summer have come sub surface. For top water I normally throw a buzz or walking dark bait. however if it’s super calm, and it usually is, I can see where a black toad by itself, can be better. I’ve also had luck on the small black whopper plopper. thanks!
Love your videos man keep up the good work I’ve learned a lot from you and would like to fish with you at some point I live in Ohio and I’m trying to get into some tournament fishing
Tyler, fishing portage lakes when the grass is thick, I’ve absolutely killed it fishing the ole monster weightless as compared to even an eighth ounce sinker.
@@BassFishingHQ I was up 2-0 on the old man and told him he had some catching up to do. We were both using 1/8 ounce sinker. He got a snag, retied, but forgot to put the sinker on and caught 4 in about a half hour. I adopted the pattern and when I can’t get them to bite, I go weightless. Appreciate the videos man, keep up the good work.
Well I know it's 2 months later. but I'm headed out to go night fishing again for probably the 10th time since this video dropped. but I already went that much anyway yet this video does gets me excited for it. Buzzbait and Jackall archelon will be my first plan , thanks Tyler for the video
Headlamp , I keep mine off until I’ve got the fish hooked . One with a black light /red light /or green light is a bonus . You can turn on your red light and it won’t mess your night vision up
If there is a full moon, color may make a difference because there may be enough light reflected from the moon for the bass to see color. However, on dark nights, color is not possible to be seen since eyes can’t detect color differences then. That is when only light vs dark can be seen, and fish would really be using their other senses to detect bait.
its funny some guys believe in using the same colors at night that they use regularly during the day , but more when the moon is out white can have more of an effect for say white to reflect off the moon. heck eventactical bassin did a video on it saying the same thing as you and its kinda interesting and im sure with diffrent water clarity and moon or any light there mater would make a diffrence. Im sure black is best in the darkest nights possible. Ive never thrown a topwater at night living on a lake that is strickly peirs i dont see anyone do anything but fish slow in sunken tree tops. Id like to find more ways to catch them at night with moving baits around peirs that go miles and miles close together and some far apart , Its a very simple oxbow the whole lake is almost the same and the only diffrence is the piers and whats underneeth them. very hard to throw a crank bait at night lol
My nephew caught a largemouth on a hot dog. The only thing I can think of that would cause a bass to eat a non- moving hot dog is smell. So I would also add some attractant. Probably don't need it. But when our sense of sight is diminished our other senses are intensified, gotta think this goes for fish too
Great info, haven't fished as much at night this year as last but I have struggled this year when I did, fishing a weightless 6" senko seemed to be the best for me but I feel I'm missing a lot of fish, has anyone tried the Big Bite Baits Kriet Tail worm? just got a few packs to try at night , guess I need to break out my chatterbait rod too lol
I've thrown the kreit tails a little. I keep looking for a big bite on them but haven't found it yet. Haven't given up though, I just keep going back to the shaky head when I don't get bit
@@fishncoach8699 I have yet to catch a fish on one yet, tried it texas rigged and on a swinghead during the day but I switch to a regular 10" worm or Texas rigged beaver bait and been catching them, think the kriet tail might have it's place at night
I was a little late trying it. I got on a big school of 2 and 3 pounders on a finesse worm. Finally thought to try that but the bite had already slowed down. I have thrown it some since, mostly late evening and right after dark on a heavy Texas rig. Youre right, it is a good large profile for night.
If your new to bass fishing at night don’t ever put down a crankbait because of treble hooks. I have caught so many bass at night on a crankbait and big ones too just be careful that’s all.
Hey Patrick I fish a lake at night a lot and it has no grass. Do you have luck with the frog at night in open water too or do you fish it only in slop ? Thanks man
@@richardkeller6940 I typically throw a wakebait in open water . Spro Rat or a Fish Lab crappie or bluegill. A frog will work but in open water I like something that makes a little more noise . Typically I throw the frog into pads or weeds . Tight lines
I have yet to catch one fish on a chatterbait and my chatterbait I lost one in the rocks 🪨 🪨 I tried fishing it slow 🐌 I tried the pick it up let it drop and willing it in fast also tried with pause method on all 3 I think 🤔 all the bass in my lake have seen a lot of chatterbaits before

Never fished for bass at night. Think I'm going to try it this weekend. Thanks for the info👍
I fish for bass all the time at night. It's the best time to fish u don't have to worry about a bunch of people
Update. Purchased all of these recommendations. $65 total at Jay's sporting goods. Had a good time had plenty of hits untill night, then nothing. Rewatching the video I realized that i had the gear but did not follow through on the Action/Technique.
nothing but big baits for me at night....Hudds, big worms, rats, etc.
Atta boy..that's when those baits get to shine.I only go big as well.June seems to be best for me in Cali
Great timing I’m going about 1 am to the lake and probably get out of the water about 7 - 8 in morning before it gets to hot. Thanks tyler

Buzzbaits are good at night too
Killer along drop offs and weed lines !

My top 3 night time baits are 5/8oz jointed jitterbug, Heddon Meadow Mouse and Texas rig worm.
Happen to have an weekend long camping trip coming up in two weeks...
this video will be handy for the night fishing we'll do..
Chatterbaits, spinner baits, and top water wakebaits are my night time go to's.
Tough to beat a wakebait at night !!
Excellent video and a lot of very wise tips I have learned the hard way over the years Kayak Fishing at night.
Great video! I mostly fish on pods at night and this just nails it! Thanks Ty
love this video, I can't wait to do some night fishing! Keep up the great content!🤟🏻
Great info!! I have never actually fished for bass at night. I will be giving it a try now. I have most of the baits you showed.
It’s great! Nothing better than throw a top water into the pitch black and hearing a huge splash and then rod almost gets pulled out of your hands
Zoom ole monster at night is killer!
Let's goooo night time fishing is the best. So much fun. Awesome video ty. Can't wait for the next
Thanks for nighttime fishing tips! Do u fish the horn toad on top of the water?
Thanks for your hard work man. I've learned so much and look forward to more of your content.
dude same here ,Ty Has helped me out so much that i feel the same way as you do. Ty's 3 mistake series i absolutely love

If you have wind a spinnerbait is hard to beat. If there’s no wind at all or the lake is eerily quiet a chatterbait is real good .
Tyler you have helped me so much and I caught a 3 1/4 because of your tips
My two largest night bass came on squarebill crankbaits on a main lake point .
Just in time I have a night tournament tomorrow!!!!! Thanks a million
Love your videos man keep up the good work I’ve learned a lot from you and would like to fish with you at some point I live in Ohio and I’m trying to get into some tournament fishing
My next tournament is about half done after dark...thanks for the info.
Tyler this is great picks. Thanks for sharing 🎣 👍
I cant forget a swimjig with a rattle thanks Tyler we appreciate the content brother its always good
Shocked he didn't talk about this.Ive caught many,many lbs of bass at night on this alone.many😉
Sup Tyler. Great tips. Love night fishing. Never used a swing head? Maybe a video on other channel? Ty tc

Also for what it's worth I've caught 3 fish over 5lbs in the last two months fishing night
What about lighting? What do you use, if anything?
Headlamp , I keep mine off until I’ve got the fish hooked . One with a black light /red light /or green light is a bonus . You can turn on your red light and it won’t mess your night vision up
Black Blue Chatterbait with a black Zoom Fat Albert Twin Tail Grub.
Dark colors of bass are looking up. White if your dragging the bottom if bass are looking down
Good stuff, thanks!

buzzbait all night
Loved the video
Nice. But I'm gonna have to keep throwing my big Rats, Crawlers, and Musky Jitterbug at night.
Hey next time you night fish try a weightless senko it will surprise you
Great way to avoid baits with treble hooks at night is always replace your treble hooks with inline single hooks.. mustad or owner are good
Great video ++
Informative video vro

I have caught so many bass at night on a crankbait and big ones too just be careful that’s all.
Damn bro, never heard anyone recommend a toad. I’ll have to try it. Do paddle type toads work?
Last night I landed 2 really nice bass...ZOOM Horny Toad.
Rather fish night then day
Interesting stuff but there is just no way I’m doing any night fishing. Luckily on my home water it’s closed 1 hr after dark …
Night fishing is tough to beat !! Love throwing a rat or frog at night
Hey Patrick
I fish a lake at night a lot and it has no grass. Do you have luck with the frog at night in open water too or do you fish it only in slop ?
Thanks man
@@richardkeller6940 I typically throw a wakebait in open water . Spro Rat or a Fish Lab crappie or bluegill. A frog will work but in open water I like something that makes a little more noise . Typically I throw the frog into pads or weeds . Tight lines

So it's October fall fishing at night for me what spinner bait would you 🤔 use with a soft plastic at night in fall BassfishingHQ ?
Jitter bug best night any kind of bass lure of all time the OG
I have yet to catch one fish on a chatterbait and my chatterbait I lost one in the rocks 🪨 🪨 I tried fishing it slow 🐌 I tried the pick it up let it drop and willing it in fast also tried with pause method on all 3 I think 🤔 all the bass in my lake have seen a lot of chatterbaits before
