Night Fishing....Do you dig it?

[Nebe]

most of my bass fishing is between 9pm and 1 am . However, since i had my kid almost 3 years ago, I have had to be extra careful about how much I go..
I have embraced this and enjoy the rare chances that i get to go even more... catching fish is just a bonus.

loosing night fishing has lead to other things though... Shore fluking.. Every once in a while in the late afternoon i will go down to the pier and chuck bucktails- today i landed a 16 incher.... not a keeper, but the thrill for me is just catching something and mastering techniques like fishing bucktails. They sure are tasty though..

I'll be back in the surf heavily at nights in a couple years... once my kid is out of diapers and is more self sufficient is my guess.

Hopefully there will still be alot of big fish around when i can fish like i used to

1.) no crowds
2.) Bass don't like bright light (like the sun)
3.) see #1
4.) except for the skeeters, much more comfortable temps.
5.) Did I mention no crowds?
6.) Majority of anglers you meet are experienced enough to know what they are doing.
7.) see #1 and #5

sleep deprivation is hard on the body on the weekends, especially if you're only averaging 4.5 hours a night during the workweek.

i can't fish as hard as i used to.

i'm a wuss.

You're me...One night a week, anymore than that, I crash. I sleep lightly during the week -6hrs is a coma. Changing the circadian tho is a beyotch. It'll catch me on monday at work.
