[left]Didn’t do any good. I only got two strikes and both look about one inch long…
[left]Son got two and better than me at 12 inches…
[left]Skeeters had a better day catching us…
That’s too bad that you didn’t have much luck.
What were you fishing for, and what with?
I haven’t tried it, but I think fishing from a tube at night would be a blast. – and hopefully NO stinking WIND! Have you all ever noticed that wind is a four letter word?
Tubing at night is a blast. I did it once and loved it. Had an explosion of fish around me at the time of a hatch. Since then I have found a way to put a clamp on navigation light on my toon. Also have head lamps.
Tubing at night is fun. A headlamp would be a good idea. I have only fished at a local pond and had pretty good luck. Got tons of Tilapia on a bright orange rooster tail. Was trying to catch some walleye but no luck. Only down fall was that I was under attack by Bats until a big owl came out, but other than that it was Fun.
Just get a headlamp that has different colors red works pretty good for the bugs. Just know the lake your fishing at.
[inline 7-4-10-G.5.jpg]I have done it twice this year. Once for walleyes, perch, and bass. The other time was for catfish. Neither time was as productive as early morning and late evening. I did see some cool stuff and do some neat things at night. Spending the 4th of july in my toon was amazing. Ron
A week ago I came up to a guy who lives a block from me is a float tuber. How I found that out is I live on a dead end street and have to go around the block and spot him unloading or getting ready to go float tubing. Talked about float tubing and he asked me if I wanted to come along with him night tubing which I did last week. Had a blast catching bass after bass and all those bass were 15 to 19 inches and I got 17 of them in three hours and he got 25.
Said we would had gotten about 45 to 55 bass a night but it was kinda slow…
So I wanted to take my son along on a different lake and I thought we would do good as I did do that a year ago but last night wasn’t the same…
We used top water lures as we can’t use anything diving as too much weeds.
Hope the pic aren’t too big…
I have done it once. Tubing/fishing at nite is cool. Catching was not so good. Maybe will better next time 
I will do it again for sure and see what happens.
Try it on full moon. That should be the best time.

When fishing for panfish use a lighted bobber as well. This will help increase hookups as well. Also cool to see little red light foating under water when pulled in.

Ok, will do. sounds like a good thing.

Panfish…are those bass? I never had any luck catching bluegills after dark. I remember when I was a kid I used to be catching bluegills after bluegills all day then when it got dark it stopped then all I was catching bullheads after bullheads…
Red lighted bobbers…I gotta try that!
I have lighted nocked arrows and they are fun to watch it fly to the target…
Panfish: bluegill, green sunfish, pumkinseeds, crappie.
