Boat fishing at night?
I have a 19-foot Key West, and my favorite thing to do is to get close to the rocks on the south side of Fishers Island, and throw eels with 12-pound spinning gear. I typically launch my boat at 5:00 AM, and make my first cast by 5:30, when it's JUST starting to get light.
That has got to be a killer spot at night. I've been thinking about going out some evening, maybe around 6:00 PM or so, and staying out all night. My question is, how dark does it get out there, if it's a clear night with a decent moon? Will I at least be able to see the island? My experience is, as long as I'm at least 100 feet off the island, I'm OK.
The thought of going out there at night for the first time is nerve-racking. Are there any light-tackle guides who run trips at night? I'd rather go out once with a pro before I make the leap.
