I'm really keen to see what comes out on top on this poll.

So what do you prefer and find most productive. Fishing for BASS in the day or night?

Thanks

I've put night but really it is either dusk into night or night into dawn.

i wold have to say all of the better fish have fallen at night.

I prefer daylight to be honest, angling is such a great opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature (Wheelbarrow Rock excluded) its a shame not to be able to see beyond your rod tip at most marks.

But I fish in darkness quite often just to keep the mark to myself.

So many new lure anglers with far too much spare time about the place, eh Ritchie?!

Daytime for me, never had much success after dark. I like to take in the views and see the sights around me, plus a dodgy leg saps my confidence anyway.

When bait fishing, i always prefer to fish during the night.

However 'all' of my better fish have come at day. I would say that at least my top 5 Bass have come during the day (albeit some of those were just before darkness, or just after sunrise).

So, on the basis of success / experience to date, i would say that i've had very good numbers at night, but my better fish during the day

Day so far, although as Si says, always bait fished at night - Also had my better fish during light hours.

Will make more of an effort for night lure stuff next year though.

 

[Ben Field]

Ditto what Paul said. Have probably caught more fish after dark this year, but I just like being able to see the world to be honest.

 

[Dave Irving]

Night and dawn for me, more and better fish - But quite happy to fish during the day in high summer as well

Thats two different questions and therefore tricky to answer, however I do more daylight fishing, find the transition between the 2 most productive but do quite well if I fish on into the night.

 

[Mark Sleep]

Sorry, the question is which is more productive. Therefore in the limited night fishing I have done this year, night, by far.

If we're talking about comfort and not productivity, then yes, day time.

 

[Ritchie Campion]

Its very close so far. I agree with Paul and Ben. However I feel much more confident catching bass at night and for that reason, I said night.

Keep voting as its very close!!

Day for me.

On the Bait - Night time is Best for mee!

 

[Adrian]

Until this year I'd have said that night time is best, by at least a factor of 5:1. But this year I've bought and used more conventional (heavier) gear and used it in the daytime and done quite well. What I very quickly learnt was that the bass seem to be in different places in the day than they are at night.
