Night time is right time to catch bass
By Jerry Miller

The best time to go bass fishing in the summer, especially in July, is when the sun begins to go down. There are several advantages to night fishing. As soon as the sun starts to set, you can feel the heat diminishing. A few hours after sundown the lake begins to cool off and so do you.
I have always preferred to fish during the full moon. Some of my best fishing memories have been at night under a full moon.
One July day after a particularly hot, sultry, calm day my wife Betty and I arrived on Lake Fork to night fish. As soon as I pulled up into my favorite place on Lake Fork, I immediately knew that this was going to be a magical night. - More Outdoors Headlines
