Hey Jax
I have thought about your post and you make some good points. Now that you mention it the baitfish are indeed vulnerable at night and probably can't see at all. Just look at those tiny eyes. I bet they do hunker down in the weeds and such.

Not with you on the bass not eating at night though. In my teens and early twenties when other normal kids were out at the movies and such my pals and I were sneaking into private farm ponds, golf courses and gravel pits and tearing the bass up in the middle of the night. I have since reformed of course   8-) .

I like night fishing and will probably still keep trying. I'm probably quitting to early. Maybe things don't get rolling until later. Just curious as to QJ members take.
