Why You Should Go Fishing In The Dark

We all know that fishing is not bound to any time scale of the day or night, so why not take some time out to go fishing in the dark. Night fishing is so much more relaxing, it can be even more intense than fishing during the day and the amount of fish you catch can be greatly enhanced, mainly because of the lack of other people using the same area to race about on and scare the fish away.
Many anglers only fish during the day time, whether it is around a lake, that is used for boats, jet skis and other marine sports, or a large pond area which is local to them and they know well. One of the things they all have in common, is the fact that there are so many other people using the same body of water, for different activities. This does not only disrupt the peace and quiet of such a relaxing sport, it also affects the amount of fish they can catch, in the time available to them.
Whether you go fishing in a local pond, stream or travel to a lake, river or reservoir, then after dark fishing can be a lot more fun, than when it is light. You don?t even have to have the best glow in dark wire fishing rods, and other night fishing equipment, to catch some of the biggest fish you can imagine.
The type of the fish you catch may also differ when night time angling - I hear bass and catfish are very active at nighttimes. I know it comes down to personal preference, but it is real satisfying getting one over on a type of fish that has always eluded you!
Fishing in the dark is one of the most satisfying things an angler can do, and the most challenging. Whether you are alone, or with a group, nocturnal fishing is just as much fun and needs all the skill you can muster.
The amount of equipment available for nocturnal fishermen can be even more astounding that the amount of stuff for general daytime use. Of course you can use all your main rods and line, but if you want that edge, then glow in dark wire fishing rods, luminous floats and a good source of light for yourself, can make all the difference.
The key to being successful when fishing in the dark is preparation. Things on your checklist should include a good torch, shelter, appropriate footwear and always letting someone know where you are going. These glow in dark wire fishing rods are amazingly helpful, as are the luminous floats and the light source, so you can see what you are doing, once you have caught the first of many fish.
Lastly a few final tips - don?t underestimate the requirement for a shelter when out after hours. You will need something like a tent or lean-to. Also don?t forget your waders, as getting wet feet isn?t pleasant! Another thing you should bear in mind is the size of the fish, as ones swimming around in the dark can get quite big, so you might need some heavier wire. Now go get some fin - fishing in the dark.
