besides all the obvious advantages, it also does not get in the way of my time ith my family. they never notice Im walking around like a zombie all day.......  |

Love it! Fishing in the dark feels natural, fishing while the sun is out always throws my confidence a bit.

Domination takes full concentration..

I like the solitude, along with the obvious advantages the night cover provides.
Other than the catching opportunities though, I like waking at 12am and staggering down the stairs half asleep without waking my wife. I have this part perfected.  My truck is loaded the night before with all my gear, except for one thing. Putting on my headlamp and walking around to my back deck gets my heart pumping.I check the woods for bears and boogeymen, then I reach into the livewell and select about ten eels barehanded, always watching my back. I place them in the eel pot with a little ice and I'm off. The 50-60 mile commute is usually nice and easy at this time of night.No red lights, no traffic. Its clean sailing all the way. Once you hit the water its game on until 4:30 comes around. It all happens too quickly, then its back to the grind.  |

With family and work, I can't burn the candle at both ends, so I'm a daylight boat fisher most of the time. I can get up at 3:30a be home by 1pm catch good fish and still have time for the kids, if I tried the night owl route, the kids wouldn't get any dad time, I got a long life ahead of me,when the boys are grown I may migrate to the night, but until then I'll stick with seeing the sunrise shortly after I get out.

Nowadays the only way to go at night is armed or with a crowd of you're own.

Insanity is a long and winding road ... I think I finally made it there.

I used to love fishing at night, caught a lot of slobs over the years, drifting eels at night. I find vision, age and the simple fact that I'm just not as driven to catch large like I was years back; put me in the 4am-noon fishing slot. I'm driven now to get my weekly dose of salt air and bend rod; but it's more about the connection now not the quest for large.
Don't believe you can't catch keepers under a hot summer sun either, I catch some nice size keepers most trips out. Yeah they might be 15-30lbers, but to me at this age and my preference for light tackle; those are nice size keepers. I remember one day a number of years back coming back into Scituate Harbor on a cooker of a day, mid-day sweating my arse off, but I always take a few last casts around the rocks just too the north of the lighthouse. Well 95 degrees, kiddy pool temperature water and a bright sun overhead; didn't seem to bother the 25lber and few slightly smaller friends I nailed on a ledgerunner. That day I've never forgotten and I don't ignore sweat shallow cover, even if it's a hot summer day.
