If You Have Never Used A Blacklight While Night Fishing, You're Missing Out!

We all know the benefits of night fishing - bigger catches and calmer waters are just two, however, night fishermen have several challenges that "day time" fishermen do not have to deal with.

Note: Not only is a blacklight nice to have, as you will soon see, but the "Evening Secret" is a device that will take fishing to a new level all together. (www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/blacklight.php)

One of the most difficult challenges is, of course, being able to see your line to find out if you have had a hit. Here is one way of easily being able to watch your line at night.

Use a blacklight and a fluorescent fishing line.

When fishing at night, it may be a few seconds before you know you have one on the line. By this time, the fish could already be under your boat or have begun it's mad dash to the opposite shoreline.

No, this isn’t an article about auto mechanics who like to fish, but rather it is an article about the mechanics of sight fishing.

My first real experience “sight fishing” happened on my first bonefish fishing trip to Christmas Island, or Kiribati, as the residents call it. The island, located two hours by commercial jet due south of Hawaii, has miles and miles of shallow, sandy, crystal clear water. These are referred to as "the flats", and this is where the bonefish hangout. They patrol the shallow water looking for their favorite foods of small shrimp. Once they see one they slurp it up with their peculiar downward facing mouth.

Fly fishermen spend their days wading the flats in search of bonefish. When one is spotted, they cast a shrimp imitation fly ahead of where the fish will be swimming. Stripping of the line brings the fly to life and triggers the strike.

Now comes the important part… you can’t sight-fish them, if you can’t see them! And to see them you absolutely need a decent pair of polarized sunglasses. Whether you’re fishing for bonefish, bass, pike or carp, good polarized sunglasses will allow you to see your quarry, or will they? The truth really is, maybe, if your eyes are trained and they know what to look for.

Everyone's an Expert, So Who Has The Right Answers?

Have you ever been stuck in a conversation with a fisherman who thinks they know everything there is to know about night fishing?

One thing most experts will tell you, is that the "Evening Secret" will swarm fish to your spot, so you can catch a lot more. (www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/experts.php)

I know I have. After listening about how many fish this person caught yesterday or hearing about the 8 pounder he brought home last week, it may be tempting to take the advice this person gives with absolute certainty.

And in some cases, this is a good idea. I am a strong believer in listening to experts who are achieving the results I want to achieve, learn what they do, and then do the same thing myself.

I have had good success with this method in the past, but there is one thing to be careful of.

One of the most favored past times of Americans is fishing. It has the ability to redeem the great outdoors with a family affair and the bestowed benefit of supplying excitement, relaxation and eventually if you are lucky, food for the table.

If you are a beginner, before you start there are a few matters to keep in mind. For instance, it is a good idea to check with your local authority fishing requirements. Some prerequisites are permits and licenses, and naturally a knowledge of the lower limit catch sizes and species allowed to be caught. A great place to begin making inquiries is your local sport fishing supply store. You ought to find the staff there knowledgeable in what you should look out for, plus they can ordinarily provide handouts from the government agencies as to what they anticipate from fishers in their jurisdiction.
