Like smallmouth bass, wipers are most active during warmer months. With the switch to preying on crayfish, wipers have become primarily nocturnal in Newcastle Reservoir. The best times to target wipers are dawn, dusk, and at night, especially during a full moon. Wipers are still hardwired to chase fish and will hit minnow-imitating lures and flies. Wipers can be caught from shore, boat, or float tubes, but use caution when boating at night. Stillfishing pieces of cut bait (chub, sucker, anchovies, frozen minnows) can be effective at night. Make sure to use strong line and set your drag very loose, regardless of tackle, as wipers often strike and run with reckless abandon in the dark. Even a five-pound fish can snap your line if it's too tight. Also remember that wipers can be very finicky and it is not uncommon to experience slow fishing. It may take some work to catch even one wiper, but the chance to catch a hard-fighting trophy is worth it.
