A Random Fishing Tip:

" Well with the brutal rising temperature of Arizona it’s time for anglers to retreat to the solitude and uncertainty of night fishing. With our next several tournaments a long night battle here are some tips to help produce enjoyable time for your next night fishing adventure.

1. Safety-probably the most crucial part of night fishing is angler safety. Familiarize yourself with body water that you will be fishing. Always try to fish with a buddy and if you’re not able to, make sure someone knows where you are. Make sure you utilize life jackets and lighting to identify your boat. Use a high-powered spotlight for shore and obstacle identification.

2. Know the feeding habits of the bass-during hot summer month’s bass tend to resort to deep water during daytime conditions and will roam dedicatedly to ambush an easy meal when nightfall approaches. Fish can almost see as well during nighttime as they can at day and they can detect up to 4 million more shades of color than you can. They rely heavily on movement and vibration and can detect prey from very large distances away. The can also smell chemical odors in the water about 1 million times fainter than you can smell in the air. Add rocket fast reactions and good camouflage, and bass are an extremely formidable enemy at night if you happen to be a minnow.

3. Know places to fish-bass remain in the general vicinity year round. Smallmouth bass, especially, are proven stay-at-homes. As the summer wears on, the bass tend to move deeper and won’t come up shallow, even at night, in many lakes. Night fishing is productive when the bass are within the 20 feet zone. Utilize points with deep-water access, underwater roadbeds or other man-made structure in reservoirs, gravel or rock banks where crawfish are abundant, and lighted boat docks.

4. Use proper tackle-hair jigs and pork rind, rubber jigs and pork rind, spinnerbaits with pork rind, plastic worms, and topwater lures. A night light with fluorescent line may be very productive for your nighttime escapade. "
