Title: Night fishing...?
Post by: Aiala on June 07, 2015, 04:32:30 PM
Say, Boss...

Do you anticipate that we will be doing any fishing at night? (I'd love to catch some pargo!) Reason I ask, I'm trying to decide if I should bring some warmer clothes... jacket, etc.   :)

Always be prepared! Bring warm cloths. I know I'm answering a question addressed to Alan and apologize.

As I recall that evening, Tim, you and Ed provided a very entertaining, vocal, and colorful marathon of smack talk at the stern that kept me chuckling at the bow.  :D

I think Mr. Johnny Walker and "friends" had some responsibility as well... ;)

we will likely spend wednesday night at anchor.  fish all night or sleep all night.  either way is fine.  i typically run on 6 hours of sleep a night for these trips, so i hope to get a little evening fishing in, but i won't stay up all night.  it's too tough on these old bones.  most will take the time to get a solid night's sleep in the middle of this trip, because all other nights we will likely be running.

Sometimes the Humboldts go off at night also. It's a lot of fun catching a few if you have not done so before.

I caught a ton of those things (up to 40#) out of Dana Point a few years ago and it's a lot of fun!

I love jigging squid at night...

That reminds me...

I used to always think the Penn 'Squidder' got its name as it was clearly made for catching squid at night.. something quite popular for you 'left coasters' after the war...

LOL

Something else to pack one of those mini lights.  The ones within which you break the glass and it mixes chemicals to make the contents glow.  Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/111448036706?lpid=82&chn=ps   Dominick

Ha ha.  I saw the first ones that came out back in the late 60s.  I had a dog who would chase the darn thing in the dark.  It was great fun and made me laugh to see the light bounding toward me.  Dominick

There used to be a product called Lunker Lights , a small tube of that stuff  placed just ahead of the bait worked great for night blue fishing. I haven't seen it around much maybe due to pollution issues?  Doug
