Cows and a few bites vs schoolies and numbers

[Marc Z]

Well i have to say that in past years I had fished mostly from 4:00am through the morning, or evening into dark, and mostly all I caught were smaller fish up to mid 30" range at best, except in the fall when you do catch bigger fish during the day. And don't get me wrong, catching the smaller fish is lots of fun on 12lb tackle. But I was gettting sick of heaaring about bigger fish (25lbs and up) being caught and me only catching the small fish, the last 2 years i have been fishing more all nighters, losing lots of sleep, but yes catching bigger fish, including ths year my biggest ever surf caught fish a 46" that was probably 35lbs or so. SO i am now hooked on fishing at night and giving up chances to catch more smaller fish in hopes of catching bigger. I think the lure of fishing at night for me most of all is the CHALLENGE. I now have this wierd desire to fish only at night because that is what the big-timers do to catch big fish, and I'm trying to get there! That's my reasoning.
