Fishing Chatterbaits At Night

Featured Replies

Have any of y'all ever tried this...is so what color skirt, blade, and color and type if trailer did you use

It's dark so think dark colors. Black/blue with a dull colored blade and black trailer. With that much vibration they'll be able to find it. Go with a dark trailer as well.

Black/blue with black blade is killer at night, especially in shallow water when conditions permit.

What size chatterbait should I use...the water I fish is pretty shallow

I usually use the 1/4 or 3/8oz. if fishing shallow water. I know folks who use larger though to size up their offering.

I'd go 3/8 for shallow. Better castability. Use black and blue at night, with a black trailer.

3/8oz black and blue chatterbait is one of my favorite night fishing baits. I usually put a 4" grub on the back. The bulky profile and strong vibration really calls them in at night.

Would a zoom fat Albert single tail grub be fine for a trailer?

Yes. I also use a Swimming Super Fluke or Jr. Size.

Half a senko or trick worm works well also. Small swimbaits add a different kind of vibration also. 

Fat alberts work good.  Also, a LFT Magic shad does REALLY well.
