You'd think anything that eats could be caught at any given time but I never tried them at night before.
You will catch a few at night...but very few. I have studied and read a lot about this. While some on occasion will get into them at night like in the day...it is not common. It is a matter of survival for them. At night they are big time prey....and they know it. You will run across articles about fishing for Bluegill at night and I have tried it at several times. I have never had any success in doing it and I was fishing in lakes with prolific populations of Bluegill. All of my info comes from reading different articles. You will run into an article every so often about fishing for them at night but the overwhelming majority of info on them is that fishing for them at dark is difficult.
