Cows and a few bites vs schoolies and numbers

[eelman]

I think it comes down to an addiction,The guys I fish with are 50years old and older,They fish all night and still make it to work in the morning.Me?Im a stay at home dad but, still have to be up at 6am with the little one and,Im responsible for her well being.Thats a heavy responsibility.Im 35 and, I have been bass fishing as long as I can remember.

There is something about fishing the night I love,I think things change at night and I also think your senses are ten fold at night!! You hear everything,you feel everything,The surf looks different,more fishy!! I could stay home and watch television till midnight or,go fishing for a tide and put myself in the best position to land a cow.I like the solitude of night fishing,I like the way a hit feels at night,I like the fact that its just me and the bass at 2am while the rest of the world sleeps!!

I also go alone alot and dont tell my friends,just so I can be alone!! and enjoy the night in quiet!! Just the sound of the surf,sometimes the hits come so hard on my eel that,I can hear it!!!

I have no problem with your fishing daytime,if thats what you like its fine by me!! Its a free country!! I just prefer to fish under the stars,always have,always will.I have caught tons of small fish,I like the brutes.I would gladly give up 1000 school bass for one 50lb striper any time!!

If its big bass someone is after,then the odds go way up at night!
