Night Stalking Continued...
for many years with great success is to take a Jitterbug and drill a small hole in the top then drop about four or five copper b-b's into the lure. Use
epoxy glue to cover the hole. What you're doing is creating a rattle so that the fish can zone in on the lure easier, especially on real dark nights.
After casting the Jitterbug let it sit for at least 30 seconds before moving it. This is very important! When a fish hears your lure hit the water he
thinks it is something to eat and will slowly, cautiously, move towards the bait. When he is directly under it he will 'nose' the bait, trying to figure out
if it's alive or dead. That is why you MUST wait at least 30 seconds before moving the lure. When you do start to move the lure, only move it about
two feet, then stop. Wait about ten seconds then start the lure moving again. Wham! Thats when he hits it! What a rush!
Know where you're at:
Night stalking can be tough, simply because you can't see the target you're casting too. Since thats the case, you must survey the lake during day
light hours so that you'll know where to cast in the dark. Or what you're casting into! Snags and tangles will drive you nuts if you're casting in the
shallows (where the big fish will be) and can't see your target. Know where you're going before you go out. And learn to tie knots in the dark... you
can't shine artificial lights when night stalking! The big fish are wary and will fall back into the deep water if they see even a hint of artificial light.
