Indiana Night Fishing Locations: Twilight Fishing Tips
One of the key ingredients to have a successful night fishing trip is picking a good night fishing location. There is one common thread that seems to cross over from species to species of fish such as walleye, crappie, bass and catfish and that is they all cruise the shallows in the twilight looking for a easy bait fish meal. The trick is to find a good night fishing feeding ground that will work with your night fishing equipment.
1.0 How to locate good night spots for walleye, catfish, crappie and bass off of rocky points.
For example my favorite type of location to fish at night for catfish and walleye is a in and behind a rocky point on the side opposite that the wind is coming from in a bay or cove, that is adjacent to a sandy beach. I have caught many walleyes and catfish and some crappie and bass in these night fishing locations. And many times other fish species too. I will normally back my pontoon boat in and behind the rocks so I am in easy casting distance to the break of the break between sand rock and hard pan.
2.0 How to locate good night spots for walleye, catfish, crappie and bass adjacent to main waterways.
Here is another favorite night fishing location I use when the night is windy. Head for backwater areas that are close too the main body of water when weather conditions are very windy. Identify stumps and structure that has easy access back into the main water stream. These are the areas you will set up your night fishing equipment. I normally lower 2 submerged fishing light sources close to the structure but not over it. Set up your night fishing rigs with bobbers and hooks to fish with live bait. Cast your rigs about a foot from the edge of the light beam. Make sure you adjust your fishing depth close to the bottom at first, then work your way upward until you catch fish. You will catch a variety of fish species such as walleye, crappie, catfish and bass in these areas.
Well folks that concludes my article on night fishing for walleye locations I wish you all the luck on your next night fishing trip! God bless and have a good day.
