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.

Fishing is the kind of sport that can be done at any time of the day or evening, so why not go night fishing. Unfortunately there are certain times of the year that you cannot fish, but we should not let that bother us. It just gives us more time to make sure our equipment is in tip top condition.

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 has to be one of the most challenging ways you can use the skills you have learnt over the years, as well as being more of an independent way to fish, and this is the same, even you are part of a group of anglers. You can feel as if you are the only person there.

When looking to buy night fishing gear, you will find tackle you won't need when daytime fishing. It is probably worth using glow in dark wire fishing rods and specific night time equipment, if just to make it easier for yourself, because fishing in the dark will always be more of a challenge.

One of the best tips I have ever been given about fishing in the dark is to prepare well, have a check list, reliable shelter and to let people know where you will be. When it comes to glow in dark wire fishing rods, the actual tackle you can get these days is amazing, the floats you buy can be seen from the furthest point of any bank you?re hold up on and the torches you will buy could blind the pilot of the nearest jumbo flying overhead.

Making sure you have something for shelter is also a very good idea, after all you don?t want to freeze. You may even want to build a small shelter, than can easily be dismantled when you leave, but if you want to have your creature comforts, then I would recommend a tent or one of those big umbrellas, with a cover that goes over the top. Fishing in the dark does not have to be uncomfortable, but it is always fun.
