Night fishing Spruce advice needed

[Fishinfire]

Hi all. I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas/advice for fishing Spruce from shore at night. Not looking for your super top secret spots, just a general idea of what to expect. You can reply here openly or PM. Had a buddy go out the other night at dusk and they killed it on the hybrids! Of course they were in a boat which I don't have the luxury of aside from my kayaks. (work injury currently prevents me rowing) Really want to try hooking up on some!

Any help is appreciated. And of course if anyone is in need of someone to go out on a boat with them, let me know! Willing to split fuel, bait etc. of course!

Thank you in advance!

The boat ramp is not lit up at all, unlike Round Valley. Made a bee line for the ramp on an angle and ended running my boat a ground. That's all I know.

Expect it to be dark.
Cast your bait into the water. When a fish eats it, reel it in.
You got this.

From shore its a bit more of a waiting game... when the school comes through multiple rods start screaming... not real easy but u put ur time in ull get em always listen for blow ups

Kaaaaabooooooooosh!!!!!!! Best advice is: Gotta Put The Time IN!!!!! It's something that you need to commit to not just once or twice and expect to slam em'.
Fish one or two spots and set up a least two or three rods with diff baits to see what they want. You should always have a rod rigged with a topwater too in case they start bustin by you.

Thanks for the advice everyone. Will definitely be putting some time in.

I just went last night for the 4th time to spruce run and again got the skunk 4th time in a row, but that still will not stop me from going there. All I went for was channel cats using chicken liver and worm, few hits on worm but probably something small.

That's the white perch Mike. Few weeks back I was soaking livers and was getting picked apart. Dropped the hook size down with a small piece of liver on it and sure enough, white perch. Also managed some small white cats and channels... No big girls yet. Prob get them trolling on the GetANet 2 in July, midday, 20 feet down in 35 feet of water LOL...

If fishing from shore - access is also a bit limited now. With the levels up and all the rains, tough to stay mobile and get on the fish. Most of the access points that I am aware of are shallower....

Lots of good info being shared...NJF as its finest. Nicely Done boys!

If I knew anything about the topic I'd add it here...but I don't...Sorry. I've only ever caught 3 hybrids at on Spruce at night. All on one trip long ago and I caught them on a 3/4 oz Krocodile spoon mostly by accident because I had no idea what I was doing and was just randomly casting as far as I could in the middle of nowhere in the dark and just reeling it back. I've never been able to repeat that so I wouldn't go spending much time trying it.....
