If you want to catch small bass schooled up in a harbor or near a dock, try throwing a sabiki rig with a small rubber curly tube jig when the herring are around. You will get the herring and also maybe a surprise bass.

This Kid i fish with has great luck with a Polaris popper at night. He is always catching fish on his polaris popper at night? Never would have figured? But he does very well with it. I think he is on here at times.
The other unconventional item I have used int he past is tin at night. Not my original idea but Toss a tin at night on sand beaches and jig it like a bucktail popping sand off the bottom and wait for the hit on the drop or on the initial pick up.

Pensil poppers can be very effective at night with an erratic retrieve. What works for me is to stop or slow them down after some fast action, you will sometimes get that strike right before you start up again.

Good choice, I have done well with them also particularly on the new moon, and I vary the retrieve, sometimes just letting it sit still for a brief sec.

ya that one is slow sinking, you can pop it, v wake it(which i was doing when i caught that) and let it sink and just slow retrieve wiggle back to the surface. great bluefish plug too. durable
