Thread: Night Fishing?

Even while using a bright starfire submerged, the black light still lights up the line and pole tips. I can also cast a jig some 30' from the boat, and can see every bit of the line up to the point it enters the water. So, if sudden extra slack, or the obvious removal of slack, BAM! Hook set, fish on. The bugs were just terrible Weds night when I was out. They were so bad, that using the clip on LED flashlight on the bill of my cap, drew all them critters into my face whenever I used it. It had never got that bad. I might load the clamp light back in the boat for the next trip and just turn it off when not in use. At least I could keep the bugs some distance away from me when I needed the light and turn the darn thing back off after I finish using it. Most of the bugs stay next to the blacklight, which is suction cupped to the top edge of the boat.
