Round 2, SD Bay Night - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

JeffB · 05-11-2012, 01:50 PM

The bass bite has always better for me a night in both bays, whether it be spots or sandies. However, I'm always able to pin down a few big sandies in the morning hours here and there. The main thing for me is not to be afraid to throw real big baits inside the bay. I rarely see other anglers throwing anything over 3"-4" baits, every now and the I see them throwing slim 5" baits and occasional 5" big hammer. 5" big hammers are the smallest I through for sand bass. The are so much more aggressive in the bay and a lot more to catch in the shallow waters. You do not have worry about them bloating up have way up to the kayak.

Hey Jeff, it was good to meet you on the water. I brought a freind who was new to both a kayak and fishing, and she got sick shortly before 10pm. We ended up leaving before the bite turned on. Although I did get hammered twice while drifting back to the launch area. We will have to get together sometime, if that is okay.

A night tourney would be cool. I put something together in the past. We had about 20 guys show up and all threw in $10 for the guy with the single biggest Sandbass. Gave away a custom rod I built as well. I would be down for that again for sure!

I love bay fishing at night. It's cool, quiet, calm, you about have the place to yourself, and the fish bite. I caught loads o' bass at night but I was usually under the lights targeting the corvina. I kind of stopped doing it because 2 trips in a row I fell asleep on the way home and almost drove off the side of the free way. Mike
