    I have caught a few gills at night while bass fishing at night. but have never went out just looking for them. Might be just the ticket.

    I cannot remember fishing for them ALL night, but we will usually pester them till 11:30 or midnight when the mood strikes. We use wollybuggers, emergers mostly at that time.

    try using a glow in the dark whip'r stopper tipped with a bit of worm if your on a dock or on the shore, it works for me, make sure you take a black light for fast charging the skirt of the whip'r stopper

    Default Night Bluegill

    I have not fished much for them at night but I have been told by those who have that dark flies or dark jigs/lures work best. Black would probably be one of the best colors, this due to low light conditions that fish see dark colors better in low light as they use all available light at night. The reasoning is that dark colors stand out better in low light than lighter colors. All of this color reasoning may not be worth much if the water clarity is bad because available light would already be limited.

    It would probably do very well, I have trouble keeping the buggers off of my hook when I'm night fishing for trout.

    I nightstalk for crappie a lot, this year I tried waxworms for bluegill
    while my son fished for crappie on the other side of the boat. we did
    very well on crappie and bluegill, seemed the bluegill were a lot bigger
    than what we catch during the day, fished in 35 foot of water 20 feet down.
    regards
