im still going to hit it early this weekend. WSB comming out of the bay and the Pride did a WSB trip on friday. although they didn't catch any. i've launched out of new port at 3:30 to make the hour and a half paddle south before daylight during the summer. its no more sketchy than during the day. actually better imho. you can hear all the waves around you, every bird land and the bait hit the surface. during the day you don't get any of that.

Unless theres a hint of red tide..... (This I know very well) and a frenzy of glowing sharks circling you isnt any more comforting than just hearing the slashes and bumps but a teeny bit cooler to watch..........
I think I just reminded myself why I would like a skiff.

It's the sharks you dont see...... you should worry about...

LJ at night is not that big a deal once you get over being in the dark, that is why they make 'night lights'... for people who are scared of the dark.

I actually like open water at night or zero-dark-thirty. Much more peaceful...and yes Oct. with red tide is a F-in trip watching all the blue/green lightning strikes and flashes of sea lions, sharks and others hitting clouds of bait balls under water.

NOT FOR BEGINNERS: Bring lights so PB'rs can see you, I carry a dive-flood light also good for flashing boats in the fog, be prepared for anything, radio and/or cell, file a paddle plan with friends or family so they know when to send out the cavalry, and definitely have someone experienced with you. (what good is a Newb if you get in trouble?)

Even then ... stuff still happens:http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lano...nty-coast.html
