Bass

Most predators are more active and capable of making a
kill at night. This isn't any different for bass.
Nighttime fishing can yield some great catches and a
nice change of pace on the water.
As the sun sneaks down past the horizon, Reggie Falls
likes to hit the water and get some time in throwing lures.
All types of bass can be fished for at night, and these
crepuscular, hungry fish in central Pennsylvania are best
fished from late spring until fall. June and July are usually
the best months to target bass in Pennsylvania.
As pressure from anglers, boat traffic, nighttime bait
activity and warming water all increase, the fish adapt.

Pennsylvania Angler & Boater * July/August 2019	

Falls fishes Foster Joseph Sayers Lake, Centre County,
his home water growing up, and where there is good
population of nighttime biting bass.
"Fish can easily be startled or just shut down during
the day due to many factors," said Falls. "At night, in a
lake like Sayers, the fishing can be phenomenal. The
bass tend to become less guarded and roam in packs
feeding indiscriminately."
If anglers are looking to hit other bodies of water, he
recommends places that may have a bit of heavy fishing
pressure in the day. So, when fishing at night, the bass
have a better comfort level in the evening and will feed
when the sun goes.
"Generally, early in the year, there are always bass up
in the shallows," said Falls. "Even in a lake that does not
have a lot of cover."
Check out flats with rock, grass and stump fields
and cruise the banks-finding those prime bass spots
anglers often fish during the day.
