Is anybody having any luck night bass fishing? Never had much luck night fishing but it’s to darn hot to go during the day. If you guys/gals have some pointers that would be awesome!

I used to go Bass fishing at night on T-ville ... usually during a full moon (or nearly full) so I could see to navigate thru the standing timber. When you could fish the bank between the ramp & marina, I caught quite a few Bass there on cranks. Otherwise I was pitching a 4" Gene Larew craw right at the water's edge & crawling it down into the water (on banks with standing timber). Fish seemed to be almost nosed up against the bank, because if the craw landed more than a foot from the water's edge ... no hits (or you'd see a wake from the fish swimming off). If I crawled the plastic craw off the bank & into the water, the "hit" would simply be the line moving down the bank or back towards the boat ... as if the fish simply grabbed the craw & started to swim off with it. Seemed to me that the Bass were simply hanging around the shoreline waiting for a crawfish to emerge from under the rocks !!
Now, that was many, many years ago ... and the ramp/marina bank is now posted, and I haven't been Bass fishing at night on Taylorsville since. I do, occasionally catch a keeper Bass during the day ... but, I'm casting a Road Runner for Crappie when that happens.
Had some luck catfishing with koolaid chicken livers at night before at Tville. Never found much of a twilight bass bite myself, however its been 2-3 years since ive tried.
I did manage one good keeper on a buzzbait but that was it. Still was a nice night for fishing.
A buddy and I fished it last evening/night. I caught one on a whopper plopper, only topwater bite of the trip. He caught about 7 dragging a craw and I broke one off doing the same. Largest was about 2.25 lbs. Fished from 6:30pm to 11:30PM.
