When I reply to night threads it is usually to say this: if you go at night know your water well. I refuse to night fish unless I have fished it dozens of times during the day. There are the few times that it wasn't an option, usually tournaments. In those few cases I take a couple of days off and run the lake to become comfortable. I can't say it enough, know your water well. Your life could depend on that. As for baits and times. I used to get caught up in the "right" baits to fish at night and for several years bought into that. I found through the years that I caught fish on the same baits and locations day or night. A spicy Beaver, jig, magnum finesse worm, a topwater of some sort, and a big paddle tail swimbait are what I throw most. The best time to fish during the darkness seems to be, for me, between 10 pm and 5 am. That's not to say earlier or later are a waste of time but again, for me, I have caught more and bigger fish in that time frame. A good head lamp is a must, bug spray if they bother you, and plenty of water and sports drinks. I usually bring an apple if I get hungry. Also, ALWAYS wear you PFD, day or night.

Tomorrow my little girl will change her name and all that marriage entails. The boy she's marrying is a great kid who I've known for 30+ years. They are goal driven and know what they want. It is not your traditional wedding in the sense that there's no long flowing White dress, no real flowers (mostly greenery) and is not in the church. It's their wedding and I respect that. It's more like a party with a wedding thrown in the mix. It's going to be a happy day and while she will be beautiful I very much miss that little girl that was all daddy's. The progression has been so fast. Anyway what an amazing culmination of the years and the joy mixed with sadness on a day that my smile will not cease will be a memory that I will cherish! Sarah and Ethan, live life to the fullest, always do the right thing, and the blessings you provide be plentiful. I implore you to never forget your Southern roots and know that wherever you are you are being thought of with love!

From the minute I hook the boat up until the first cast is about 25 minutes.

As my brother is fighting this disease my heart is broken for you Tom. I'm deeply sorry for your loss and please accept mine and Tresa's heartfelt prayers.

The goal is always to catch fish. BUT... As I'm approaching my 6th decade I have been of this mindset : I feel very fortunate to be able to do what I love. There's not one minute that I take for granted and while I would rather catch fish if I zero it's ok. Challenge vs. enjoyment is more about those days where I see a wild Turkey in flight, catch some fish, and see five boats all day.

JJ Grey and Mofro are awesome! As for the question. I never listen to music while fishing.
