Hi basspack. We were originally going to fish one night at High Rock. Right now, it looks like we will be fishing tomorrow night at a Watershed closer to where we live. It's a smaller body of water and generally has less people. I figure it's a good place to get acclimated to night fishing. If we make mistakes hopefully it will affect a smaller number of people. We also fish Belews Lake, Thomalex, and recently at Tillery. Our goal is High Rock since there's always a shot at getting a double digit bass. Thanks to all the awesome folks here I've got a notebook full of info and tips!

Sounds interesting. I'd be down.

HaHa! Yeah, nothing like pulling a bullet weight out of your leg to cap off a good night of fishing! Looks like we're gonna get rained out this weekend. The only time to fish will probably be Sat. during the day and early afternoon. That will give me time to stock up on some things. (to my wifes dismay!)

I was about to ask the same question about the sunscreen. I absolutely have to wear it so I was hoping for this answer, haha!

These are great tips guys! Thanks again for all the help, I really appreciate it. It's awesome to have a place like this to come and get help! Jason

I tell you if I had the cash that would be the light I would get for sure. I've drooled over that one for several weeks now, haha! I feel your pain on the pipes for sure. I just spoke with a guy that's had his boat in the shop for the last three weeks because he ran into something....but during daylight. It's gonna be another two weeks until he gets it back. Summer's busy busy for the boat shops! :-/

I was thinking the same thing about the hat lights. Those little things are saweet! I'm thinking we're probably gonna use a net for everything we catch. No sense stopping by the E.R. on the way home! I did get a Tetnus shot a few weeks ago though! ;D

Thanks for the tips I really appreciate it. We've never fished at night so I wanted to make sure the lights we had would be sufficient. I'll keep the spotlight use to a minimum as well.

Hi guys! Need some help. I want to go out to the lake and fish one night this week. I hear the night time is the right time this time of year. Just have a few questions. 1. How do you guys safely navigate at night? I'm assuming the slower the better using a large spotlight? 2. Is there an inexpensive option to a transom mount light for navigating? 3. What lights do you use when actually fishing and where/how do you use them? We have a 90's model Rick Clunn Nitro with the transom red/green and the back white light. Any additional info and tips would be greatly appreciated. We'd be going to High Rock lake here in NC one night. We know it pretty well during the day but obviously want to do this safely. Thanks! Jason

<----------caught this one on a Senko this past Spring. It was 6lb 2oz. I handed my rig over to my father because my hands were shaking so bad afterwards. He then made two casts and nailed a 7lb 11oz. on the same half torn Senko......the rest of this season I've gotten dinks on them. HaHa! Big ones will eat them though!

I normally stand unless there are larger boats or a jet ski zooming by! -j

Coldest I've ever been on the water was 19 degrees this past winter. We fished for 4 hours in winter gear and it was uncomfortable enough for me to call it a season until spring. The week after that a couple of guys drowned because their boat took on water and the water temp was just too cold for them to make it to shore. This winter I will be thinking about that before I go out for sure.

Dynamite.....it always works! ;D Only kidding.

6lb 11oz. Are there door prizes?? HeHe! 8-)

Also make sure you got 'em nice and tight too. I've dropped more than I care to admit. I'm still learning every day as well! jason

Awesome photos. Those are some great looking smallies!! jason
