First try at night fishing. I can tell you this it is really a good experience.

The first night we went up Beaver Creek. Bait fish are everywhere. Just before daylight way up the creek where we put in was large swarms of top water action from the shad. So much that we began fishing at that spot.

Casted jointed redfins, slivers and other top water baits with no hits what so ever. Sun went down and we began working our way to towards the mouth. A low front pushed through that day and we were not sure what would happen. had a bright half moon out and lots of clouds. It was really neat as the clouds were moving fairly quickly and when the moon was out you could see really well. Then when the moon was behind a cloud you couldn't see your lure on the end of the rod

Caught nine stripers that night. All at 24" or below. Worked all night to get our limit. No telling how many we lost or how many hit our lure and missed the hook. Only caught one with a little size

We fished both sides of the creeks. Caught fish where we were out of the wind. They hit right along the banks.

Heard the shad all over the place in almost every area we went. Heard the stripers sparadically mainly between 11 and 4.

By fishing partner put it on me. Do you think it was because he was on the
front and I on the rear?

So the first night we caught all stripers and nothing else.

Fished basically the same areas of Beaver Creek mid lake to the mouth.

Didn't catch one striper. Boated 12 Walleyes and one large Hybrid.

The hybrid had a real fat belly and was full of semen. I didn;t know they had hybrids down there. It was an amazing trip as the first night stripers and the second Walleye.

IF you have a chance now is the time to fish at night as the action is everywhere we fished,

Good Luck
