Went out for some after dark fun last night, a bright moon and decent bit made the short time out well worth it.

Nice looking fish.  ?

Nice I night fish in the summer usually.

Never had much luck night fishing for smallmouth but I think it might be because our lakes aren't very clear. Seems like the lakes I hear with good night fishing for smallmouth have much clearer water.

Nicely Done ~

Congrats

I don't recall the anglers name at the moment, he was a Smallmouth bass night angler who caught lots a big smallies. Skinny Harris who tied my hair jigs for years made me up some Smallmouth hair jigs he made for the his friend who's name escapes but caught several 8 lb+ smallies at night mostly on single spin spinnerbaits and hair jigs. 

The jig color Skinny made for me was called Fritts, a hair jig similar to David Fritts favorite crankbait color: brown back, chartreuse sides and red highlites.

I tie my own jigs, have for years. Black bear hair is probably my best producer. I've caught up to a 7 pound 4 oz small on these jigs. The fish pictured came from Tim's Ford where I live but Pickwick Lake is my all time favorite place to fish and holder of My personal best.

I tried chasing down bear hair for a few years.  Calif is not hunter friendly so don't hear too much about take.
