I fish, for the most part, at night. Bigger fish are more comfortable in shallow water after dark for one thing. I work during the day and have a very active social life on the weekends, so the wee hours of the morning are far more suitable. I can go 8 hrs at night thru dawn, time seems to flow by a little easier. Also it is quieter, no boats, and there is nothing more fulfilling than watching the day break over the horizon, the only sounds are the waves crashing (damn near like therapy). Its substantially cooler during the hotter months and there are far less other anglers competing in the swim. As far as the danger posed by roving bands of teenagers, I am armed, light and mobile. More importantly, at my favorite spot, I will spot trouble long before it spots me.
