USE OF LUMINOUS LURES AT NIGHT

[alan]

did you not try with some lighter gear Tony,spinners or floats ?

[TC]

Never gave a thought to using spinners at night, Alan
Have you had success using spinners in the dark?

[willywetegg]

Tony was gonna post the same as Alan, Mark swears by using daylights in the dark. I still havn\'t tried it yet but am going to. He reckons to \"charge\" them with your headlamp first though.

That\'ll be the lumi Hokais then, Jim?

Willl be giving that a go next time

[willywetegg]

That\'s the fellas Tony mate. As has been said on here numerous times keep trying different things, might not work every time but sometimes they will.

I\'ve had fish in the dark on spinners but also use the lumi hokais as Jim says

[mark]

araldite a plastic sleeve to one side of a spinner and stick a small snap light in, works well on dexters, sometimes add a hokkai or 2 above the spinner as well.

flashgun is the biz for \'charging\' hokkais up, get a brighter luminesence with a quick flash than 5minutes with a head light

if there\'s sea trout about, you\'ll stand a good chance of taking them at night. I\'ve had em in scotland with shiny things in the dark - just put em in yer bag quickly and say nowt!, any that are caught in the tyne upto a mile off shore are technically belonging to the Bywell syndicate!

Marks idea with the snap light works ok. I use a flowing trace ( a bit like a flying collar rig ) and fasten a glow stick above the hook. Fastened on with float rubbers. I get the sticks from the local pound shop ( £1 for a box of 16 different colours ) there cheap and they work pretty good.

should really move or chop this thread in half as its turning out to be really interesting

Cheers for the kind words lads!

Still fishing, just not much lately. Possibly going upto to Drummore next Friday for a few days, hopefully getting towards Tandoo Point south of Dunskey Castle (Port Patrick).

Gordon and Bert, had it pretty much right. Combination of a woman and having a geeky 3-D solid modelling job doesn\'t give me much spare time and you don\'t feel much like switching the PC on when you been staring at one for the last 9hrs.

Hope everyones well!

Hello Norman! I\'m sure Slinky Kate was behind Ellen MacAuthur in the Chronicle a few days back? Hope you, Dave M, Bob, Ian S and the rest of the boat lads (including Rich the ever obliging crewman ) are still pulling the monsters out! No need to mention the lads from the Cleadon Club. They seem to get into the fish all the time. Even Sless was in the paper! I was just suprised he managed to get a fish up without getting snagged!

Glad the rods still going well Tony. Had a good few enjoyable sessions out with it and I\'m sure you\'ve been doing the same.

Gordon, sorry bout that line, if it\'s still about I owe you cash, if not I owe you beer!

Ray, still got plenty of weights, but i\'ll be sure to give you a ring when I\'m running low. (Could always lend Scott a few!!) :P

Peter! New Harltey Open, Caught bot all, came back had chicken curry n chips (cracking!!!) and got a waterproof disposable camera in the salvage draw Best thing was, Rob got a flipper n snorkel set. Laughed pretty much all the way home because he said he wasn\'t bothered what prize he got, as long as it wasn\'t a 55lb bag of spuds

Anyway, I\'ll try and post some pics of next weekends trip when I return. Hopefully get some nice pollack and blow the dust off my gear.

Cheers!

Hello Ant
