night fishing

[alcaucin]

just curious about night fishing from my boat which is in h'pool marina, any tips and is it worth the effort? or should I just stick to daylight fishing

I fish in the dark 90% of the time in the winter months when home.
Go out in daylight to see where the dhans are, give yourself plenty of room for picking up your anchor . Watch your forecast and tides for getting in the lock.
Take someone with you.
Headlight is a must.
Nice and slow coming in.

i was out 3 times in the last 5 days...twice during the day and once at night...all uptiding

absolutely no difference in the catch

night has got its charme though and also this time of the year: it is night most of the time.

What's it like at night Norbert? I've always fancied giving it a go, but just a bit wary on the safety side of it with a small boat

James said its like sitting on a pier ��

safety...I think Sunderland waters are safe because there is not much ship traffic.

i also have 3 big floodlights to spot lobsterpots. i do 15kn+ at night, no bother...

i probably would have no problems fishing out at the wrecks at night but always felt that they are better during the day.

uptiding is usually less than a mile from the pier and no real worry.

I do a lot of uptiding at night I go out in the dark and come back in the dark as long the forecast is good you have no probs iv caught some of my best catchers at night some good anglers out had fish to 28lb, Just take you time getting to the spot keep a look out for things floating in the water,

different world out there on a night and had some great catches of cod but can come alive with bait strippers aswell, small whiting and pouting.

I fancy trying it but need to wire up a vsr so as to have two batteries, one for the extra lights.
