Night Fishing...One Googan's Take - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

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!
