PEAK FEEDING WINDOWS AND TIME FRAMES VARY THROUGHOUT THE SEASONAL NIGHT FISHING PEAKS
During The Summer Peak, The Prime Early Summer Night Fishing Season, The Twilight Hours From 1:00 AM Thru 3:00 AM Will Produce The Largest Bass In any System. These Hours During this Seasonal Peak are Most Productive And Always Produce The Highest Activity Levels For Giant Bass. A Smaller Feeding Window, Just Before Dawn, Usually Only Lasting An Hour Or So, Produced This Monster 7 Lb 14 oz Fish In July Of 1980. This Fish Took A Muskie Jitterbug At 3:45 AM.
CHASING MONSTER LARGEMOUTH AND SMALLMOUTH AFTER DARK AND MOST TIMES UNTIL DAWN HAS BEEN ONE OF MY PASSIONS FOR MORE THAN 45 YEARS.
PRIME SEASONAL PEAKS - SEASONS WITHIN SEASONS. PRIME TIME SLOTS FOR CHASING MONSTER BASS AT NIGHT THROUGHOUT THE SEASON CHANGE WITH EACH SEASONAL PEAK.

HUNTING PIGS DURING THE SUMMER PEAK
THE SUMMER PEAK TIME FRAME IS MAGICAL FOR JUMBO LARGEMOUTH AND SMALLIES. BAIT POPULATIONS ARE AT THEIR PEAK AND EVERY BASS IN THE LAKE IS GORGING THEMSELVES. JIG COMBOS, SPINNERBAITS, CRANKS AND STICKS ALL TAKE THEIR SHARE OF SUMMER PEAK BASS. THE HIGHLIGHT OF THIS TIME FRAME OFFERS A SMALL WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE SOME GIANTS ON BUZZBAITS. IT'S USUALLY ABOUT A 2 to 3 WEEK WINDOW DURING THE 1:00 AM to 3:00 AM SLOT. BEFORE THIS PEAK FEEDING TIME OCCURS, I'M FISHING LEDGES AND BREAKS FOR HUGE FISH DOWN DEEPER ON THEIR MIGRATION ROUTE TOWARD THE FLATS TO CRUSH BAIT IN THE SHALLOWS. FOLLOW THESE FISH ON THEIR ROUTES TO BE CONSISTANT IN LANDING GIANTS DURING THIS SEASONAL PEAK PERIOD.
SEASONS WITHIN SEASONS AND FEEDING WINDOWS ARE THE KEY TO CONSISTANTLY TAKING BIG BASS AT NIGHT
As The Summer Peak Arrives And Big Bass Are Recovered From The Spawn, The two To Three Week Period Of High Activity Begins. Big Sows Gorge Themselves On Huge Bait Schools That are Heading Into The Breaklines And Flats During Twilight Hours. Each Time Frame From Late May Thru Summer Differs in Length Of Feeding Periods. Be There For The Peak Feed Time Frames And Capitalize On The Largest Bass In The system. For Further Disection Of Peak Feeding Times, Check out Some Of My In-Fisherman Magazine Pieces On Night Bass.
