If you’re thinking of going out fishing at night, you’re probably thinking: would bait presentation still be important when you’re fishing in the dark? The straight answer to this question is a resounding YES! You see, it doesn’t matter if it’s bright or dark because most game fish have really good eyesight. So you can either use live crawfish and shad or you can maybe use some spinners or poppers that can mimic the movements of crawfish and shad-well, at least when these baits are retrieved or the rod is jerked in a certain way that would make the artificial bait look like fleeing crawfish or shad in the water. Bass or crappie, for instance, is often caught using crawfish or shad. While there are so many factors at play when it comes to bait presentations, it all boils down to making sure your bait (whether live, fresh-cut, or artificial) looks, moves, and even smells like your specific target’s preferred food on a given season and time of day. No, we’re not just talking about the way your bait is put on the hook. So what we’re saying, really, is if you want to boost your night fishing game, you definitely will need to know more about how different bait presentations would work on different fish species in different situations. Yes, you may have some of the best (and maybe the most expensive) equipment, or you may even be casting from the most fish-abundant body of water on the planet, but if you don’t put too much effort into how you would present your bait, there’s a good chance that you’d come empty-handed by the end of your night fishing trip. Keep in mind that even the smallest changes in the presentation can make a huge difference in your success-and this still holds true in night fishing. As any expert angler would tell you, bait presentation is everything when it comes to fishing.
