fish after dark. Whether you’re looking for a giant largemouth or some
explosive striper action, we have the perfect trip for you!
Our night fishing gear consists of spinning and casting rods with fluorescent line, and black lights set up on the boat. The black light will cause your line to glow, making it easy to see your presentation throughout the night. We may also use submersible lights that we drop below the boat to attract bait, which then attracts the larger fish. As always, all of the equipment and gear is provided, same as the Sonoran Bass Adventure.
We outfit our Eco Tour Adventures with a 24 foot Ranger bay boat. Unlike other water tour companies, we believe in getting up close and personal with nature, and these boats allow us to do just that.
