Night Fishing At The Vo-tech School Lake
We left the house 815 friday night, drove 5 minutes to the school. Got the gear and started fishing. Got a few bites on a green plastic grub ( with a 4 inch tail ), but nothing real solid. We walked around the lake a few times and around 930, they started hitting the spinnerbaits. Casted out 20 - 25 feet, and on a medium/slow retrieve...BAM! We hooked 11 and landed 8. All about 1 pound, we didn't get any big ones. JJ brought the flashlight and really helped out holding the light steady while i was unhooking the fish, glad they were all bass, don't think i'd be happy dealing with a big pikerel/pike in poor lighting conditions! Didn't get any pictures - don't have a dig.camera at the moment, dam thing froze up on me 2 months ago. We fished until 1015.
We are going to go there every sat. night. It's on a main road, is well lit up on that side. It is dark near the school, but wide open and clear and a security car drives by every 10 minutes. I don't know how late you can fish here, but the guards have never told us to leave...yet! There's some big fish in here - appears to be only sunnies and bass - no pikerels
