All factors that have to be considered.

Preach it brother, same here. I'm in as well

Jim, you realize the more people that go with you, the less chance your trophy lands on YOUR lap.......

Oh and I've seen seabass feed during the day. About an hour after sunrise, on a certain tide, with a certain current....

Jim,
you know I'm in!

For everyone who hasn't done it before,
Fishing at night is a lot different. As Andy said, "sensory overload" . I don't take dramamine during the day but ALWAYS at night. There have been more than a couple of nights that I was asking myself what in the hell was I thinking and if I was stupid. I've been out by myself and have actually screamed like a bitch a few times. I had a seal jump the nose of my kayak in the pitch black that almost caused me to poop my waders. Birds can even give you a scare and it seems like whales like to come a little closer in the dark. Bait for me has always been non existent except when there are squid. I've caught a few things at night but nothing to brag about. I always find myself thinking the same thing Andy said, "cmon grey light" .
I'm not trying to scare anyone away from fishing at night for the first time. Just be prepared. It is just something totally different. You might not catch anything but you can always brag that you did it.

I'm ready to go whenever!

I've wanted to do this at San O. but LJ works too with planning. I'd be into this for sure.

To ease pressure in any one spot may be a good idea to have a "crack the code" tour. Coming to a launch near you!

PMs about when and where would be much appreciated.
