Some November Tactics that Catch Fish Before the month ends I thought I would spend a little time describing some of the various successful tactics that catch bass in November and early December. The key to this period is to remember that the bass are feeding in the extreme shallow water. When you combine shallow water techniques with grass you start to limit the type of fishing presentations that will work effectively in the remaining grass. The first presentation to me is to find grass that has reseeded down from the top of the water 6 to 10 inches; this allows you to pull small short arm spinner baits over the grass. The good thing about short arm spinner baits is the pure fact that the blades do not gather the grass up on the blades nearly as much as a long arm spinner bait do. The flash added with slight deflection off of the grass causes strikes and some really good fish can be caught this way! Next is to find the fish in the middle part of the sunny type days we have in November. This time of day generally moves the bass a little deeper away from the sunlight and it is an ideal time to work rattle baits in 6 to 10 feet of water over short grass. You probably can’t fish anything heavier than ½ oz. but that is all you need to hook up with some good fish. As in the spring that yo-yoing motion will get the strikes so drop it and stop it, just a little quicker so you’re not hanging the grass. A good way not to hang the grass is to use a non stretch line as it will pull through the grass and keep moving. Lastly if you’re a jig fisherman, lay downs, boat houses and rip-rap are just loaded with shallow bass feeding before the winter pushes in. Pitch that jig in and around cover, work the corners and pylons around the boat houses very methodically and you can find a big stringer of fish.

The Latest and Greatest for Night Fishing It’s the time of year that if you can get on the water and fish until midnight or so, you can really load the boat with some great fish. The problem is most people aren’t equipped properly and catching fish at night requires some technology. First of all most folks that have fished at night have some sort of night black light. They are pretty common and a lot of people make them. The problem is most black lights on the market drain your batteries, have poor suction cups and won’t hold your lights firmly to your boat, and most importantly they have no way to help you see the grass lines and holes in the grass especially if you like to flip. You’re looking out into darkness and have no idea what type of structure your fishing. Lastly, most of us that fish at night have to use flashlights to see your rods or reels that might be sitting on the deck of the boat. Today there is a supplier that has eliminated all these issues. Punisher Lures has come out with some intriguing technology; first there black lights have an extremely well made suction cup; it holds your black light firmly in place. Next every model is equipped with a white light that has an on off switch that shows onto the deck of your boat. You can see your tackle and save yourself some damage on your rods and reels. Most important is the lighting is all LED technology and uses hardly any power. LED driven lighting uses less power than your depth finders do, you can fish all night without hurting your batteries. Lastly the Punisher black light has a model designed with a blue and a set of green LED’s, the green lighting shows the grass lines and holes in the grass so you can effectively flip just as if the sun was out. When the green lights combined with the blue lights are on your vision out 10 feet or so from your boat is just amazing. Your line shows up as it would with just the blue colored lights and you can actually see what your fishing. Some great technology for the night fisherman, to buy them you can order on line at www.punisherlures.com or just stop by Waterfront Tackle.
