On other side of coin, it seems like fish are more likely to hit when moon is hidden, either by clouds or a quarter moon. So, real trick is to use moon to determine how you are going to fish that particular night.

If you have a bright, full moon, head for shadows on water. If you are on water and moon is nowhere in sight, you can go straight to your favorite spot and fish like you normally do, but expect to get more frequent and harder hits on your line.

This tip is especially true for bass, but it works with virtually any kind of fish at night.

Some fishermen swear they only fish during a full moon, others say no moonlight is best. I say, both are best, you just have to alter your style depending on how much moonlight you have that night.

Try it out for yourself and see if you get same results. This one tip alone has helped me catch some of biggest fish in my life. Hopefully it will help you do same.

Since fish are less likely to associate night time to fishermen, they tend to take bait with less resistance and hesitation. Almost like they are thinking to themselves "There is no way this is a fisherman's bait, it midnight for crying out loud". This results in better hooking of fish.

Maybe it's fact that fish are more likely to feed based on sound and vibration at night, unlike day when they can also use vision.

Since you will be catching bigger fish at night, you can also use bigger bait. Personally, I find it easier to use bigger lures anyway, so it works out better for me at same time.

You don't have to worry about all other boats zipping around you at night, like you do during day. This alone is enough to make some fishermen want to only fish at night. The peaceful serenity at night is hard to beat.

If you fish at night in summertime, you will also appreciate cooler weather compared to fishing during day.

If you have never been night fishing before, you need to get out there and try it at least once. You may never want to fish during day again!
