The night air is cool and crisp. Lights from the boat illuminate the dark water. Rods are set and lines taut. The crew waits in anticipation. Suddenly a rod bends. A fish is on. The fight begins. The angler reels steadily. A flash of silver breaks the surface. A walleye is landed. Cheers erupt from the crew. Another successful night on Tippy Dam Pond.

Summary
As the sun dips below the horizon, the serene waters of Lake Cadillac beckon anglers seeking the thrill of night fishing for walleye. Cadillac, Michigan, nestled in the heart of the Lower Peninsula, offers prime opportunities to target Sander vitreus, better known as walleye. The dark waters shimmer under the moonlight, creating an enchanting atmosphere for those casting their lines. Experienced anglers recommend using live bait such as leeches or minnows, while others swear by crankbaits and jigs tipped with soft plastics. The gentle lapping of waves against the boat and the occasional splash of a jumping fish break the night's silence. Patience is key as walleye tend to be more active during low-light conditions, making night fishing particularly effective. The cool night air carries the scent of pine from the surrounding forests, adding to the sensory experience. As you wait for the telltale tug on your line, the starry sky above provides a breathtaking backdrop. The anticipation builds with each cast, knowing that a trophy walleye could be lurking in the depths below. When success strikes, the fight is exhilarating, with the powerful fish testing your skill and equipment. The satisfaction of landing a prized walleye under the cover of darkness is unmatched, making night fishing on Lake Cadillac an unforgettable adventure for any angler seeking both challenge and tranquility.

Targeting Sander Vitreus After Dark
Walleye, scientifically known as Sander Vitreus, are the prized catch for night anglers in Cadillac, Michigan.

Fishermen often use lighted bobbers or glow-in-the-dark lures to attract these elusive predators, taking advantage of the walleye's nocturnal feeding habits.
