fire in the water

I have to say I have never seen it so bright as last night,and last so long as it has. been quite a bit of it around my area for about the last 6 weeks. It was so bad and beautiful it was almost like fishing behind the Andrea hotel.
We fished last night and three of us ended up with the big skunk. It was freakin cold out too.

Can anyone guess who this is?

I've noticed this as well. The fire has seemed brutal this fall. Feels hopeless throwing a plug into it, even with a skin on it, even on moonlit nights. I've more faith plugging by day, than by night. Been close to going back to using eels,...............but I'm afraid I'll fall asleep doing it and freeze to death.

Don't bother. The eels look radioactive on the retrieve. Picture a glow stick. Tie direct and don't retrieve them at all,it won't make a difference. Find the bunker moving around in your neighborhood in the daytime and slip on the DOC.

NIB, I think you might do better with a large animal veterinarian.

Got my best fish this year in the midst of the fire on 2/3 of an eel.

Wow, can't imagine it being worse than that night. I walked around the island today, made 4 casts, no fish so I proclame it "Done".
