There are several advantages to night fishing. As soon as the sun starts to set, you can feel the heat diminishing. A few hours after sundown the lake begins to cool off and so do you.I have always preferred to fish during the full moon. Some of my best fishing memories have been at night under a full moon.One July day after a particularly hot, sultry, calm day my wife Betty and I arrived on Lake Fork to night fish. As soon as I pulled up into my favorite place on Lake Fork, I immediately knew that this was going to be a magical night.

Bass fishing really gets tough and unpredictable at this time of year.The surface temperature on our area lakes is around 88 degrees. This can be very stressful on the bass, especially if you try to keep bass alive in your live well.Night tournaments are really taking a toll on the bass population because not many fishermen have live wells that are equipped with good aerators and pumps that re-circulate the water.

There are a lot of bass that are caught deep in the summer, but not all bass are deep all the time.I’ve found that on most lakes there is a shallow water bite going on if you know when and where to loo Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:59:00 +0000 http://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/outdoors/local_story_188130154.html http://www.jacksonvilleprogress.com/outdoors/local_story_188130154.html Bass fishing on Lake Jacksonville has been good since the bass have now set up on summer patterns. The best mornings have been where we have haze or some clouds to deflect the sun’s rays. Also most of our southerly wind speeds have been about 5 to 10 mph. The wind is your friend in the summer. It helps break up light and causes current. The very worst days are the high pressure, no wind days. I almost always fish the shady side of the lake as long as possible.
