Night fishing in summer
Submitted by damon4949 on Tue, 2012-11-20 17:22
Hey guys, so got some nice lights in the boat now and was wondering if it's worth going out for a night fish if I'm going to miss the tide change (Tide on Friday is high at 7:30ish and I'll be on the water 8:30-9) and if it's still worth it, what kind of thing should I look for (ie. gutters, rocks, weed ect ect) withOUT catching any snapper. I know a few good tailor spots but was wondering if they bite all through the night. Hoping for something on the large side of things, Cockburn based btw.
Many thanks!
Damon.
P.S I searched for about 4 hours before asking, searching "night fishing" just brings up 2498576349876534897573498 snapper reports ;)

I am, as I've said, merely competent. But in an age of incompetence, that makes me extraordinary.

Tailor are definately caught
Tailor are definately caught after dark, but yer i'd be careful at night around reef etc, and inside the sound probably isnt a great place to be putting a mulie on gangs out ;)

Cheers guys, been out a fair
Cheers guys, been out a fair bit in the sound so know it fairly well, won't be going near the back of carnac/garden/mewstone. Thinking of finding a gutter, possible shark/ray/mulla/tailor?
