Yep.

I just use Eagle Claw bobber stops. You get like 20 for a buck.

Just having fun. I said a couple times other colors will work. You Must've missed it. Just said black has worked better for me. Just gotta read all of what I write dude.

I use EWG 90% of the time. On 10" worms I use a 5/0 Gamakatsu.

I really really really hope I never have to refer to this video. I've had some close calls, but never past the barb!

Jigfishn10, you just had to go there didn't you? Lol I guess I should have said "supposed to beat good hitting." Atlanta definitely should have won more, but first round exits are kinda their thing lol. Really no excuses why Maddux, Glavine, Smoltz and Avery (can't remember the 5th...Kent Mercker maybe?) didn't win more World Series'. Not like they had a slouch offense either. With the horrible upper management in ATL right now, it amazes me that the Braves can even compete. I swear Fredi Gonzalez tries to put together the least-sensible batting order he can think of.

I would start with a couple packs of senkos (maybe watermelon and red shad?), a couple packs of ribbon-tails, and a creature or craw bait like brush hogs or rage craws. I'd also get some 2/0 straight shank hooks, some 3/0 EWG hooks, and some tungsten (or maybe lead for a beginner, it's a lot cheaper) bullet weights 3/16-1/4 oz. I definitely think senkos would be the best place to start.

I've caught plenty at night with baits that aren't black.

A few lake around here have gizzard shad.

And As a Braves fan, that's about all I'll say about Utley lol. The game should be good. Powerhouse offense in the AL, and lockdown pitching in the NL...but good pitching is supposed to beat good hitting!

I always used to night fish with the same colors as I would during the day (watermelons, pumpkins etc). Sure I caught fish, but when I started using black and junebug I caught a lot more. I did compare them on more than 1 outing. I found that I got a lot more hits and because of that more fish on black. I don't always think color is of huge importance but in my night fishing experiences black has out produced everything.

Don't use SK hard baits much, but IMO no other company even comes close to the Rage Tail line.

Ahh ok so that's what it is. So it's not that bad I guess. Yeah I was surprised to see Utley starting . He's been good the whole year. Good choice.

I think it's ridiculous how Stanton isn't starting in the Mid-Summer Classic. I guess that's what you get when the fans vote...No love for the fish...especially when their payroll is like 25 mil.

Black will silhouette the best against a night sky. It's not about food color, it's about contrast. I did say other colors work, just black has been by far the most productive.

Nope...but believe it or not it does get dark at night. Dark means not much light.

Oh yeah...the big'ns come out at night!

All black everything! Black jitterbugs, black 10" worms, brush hogs, black jigs and trailers, lizards. You can have any color you like...as long as it's black . Other colors work, but black is definitely the best for night fishing.

I love night fishing, especially in strip pits. I have definitely noticed a size increase at night. More 19-21" fish came from night fishing than anything else. Black jitterbugs, black lizards, worms and craws. Try going during an extreme heat wave. I noticed better results with night fishing during a heat wave.

Are you using braid? Doesn't stretch so there's no force lost on the hookset.

I use EWG hooks for ribbon-tails because the worm lays straighter than on regular off-set hooks. I usually use a weight from 1/8-5/16 oz. I cast it out, let it sit for 10 seconds and then shake the worm a litte bit. After that I start a slow stop-and-go retrieve, with periodic shaking-in-place. My favorite worm is a Culprit 10" ribbon-tail.

I only peg my weight when I'm throwing T-rigs into brush/wood. Otherwise the line can get wrapped easier around a branch. I don't peg the weight in clear water only because it's hard getting a bobber stop on 25lb fluorocarbon.

My favorite jig head from Siebert is the Brush head. Perfect for throwing into logs and branches (which is what I'm throwing at 90% of the time) but I haven't found a situation where the brush head won't work. Pulls through the weeds easily and even stands up on a flat bottom.

Got these ones over the weekend. 4.58 lbs 4.84 Friday was a good day after three straight days of storms and a 20 degree temperature drop. Bunch of bass and a few pike. Saturday and Sunday were tough though.

Nice fish, cool looking fishing hole you got too.
