Friday Fishing Stories: Night ‘Yaking

in fishing •  7 years ago  (edited)

I love fishing, but it is hard to find time to get out on the water. I have resorted to trying my hand at some fishing in the middle of the night on my kayak, typically in the ocean harbors.

Given that kayaking alone at night on the ocean can be a bit dangerous, I usually try to find someone to go with me so that we have the buddy system with a couple of kayaks. My youngest brother (10 years younger) likes fishing and will sometimes go out with me. We have worn glowsticks in the past in order to be able to see each other better if the moonlight is not significant or there is cloud cover.

The fishing is definitely not as good at night, likely because the fish cannot see the lures too easily, but I still find it fun and it is a different type of challenge. If you caught 15 fish during the day, a nighttime session may only result in 5 or fewer fish. Here is a couple of bass my brother and I landed form a night fishing session in one of the local harbors:

I also tried taking some scenery pictures, but nothing came out very well due to the darkness. Maybe next time there will be more moonlight for pictures.

I really enjoy the atmosphere and overall feeling of the night fishing as it is more serene, quiet and peaceful… you just need to be careful!

Thanks for reading!

Yes, it's really tough to catch fishes at night and in my opinion it's not that good option too because we cannot observe everything properly in darkness and this point can be prove as negative for us.

But in pictures we can see that you both caught fishes and these wishes are reflecting huge enough so in my opinion in darkness also you've done an great job for sure. I hope that you both had an great time.

Wishing you an great day and stay blessed. 🙂

Those are some nice looking fish. I can imagine it must be tough catching. I have fished a couple times in the evening and it can be tricky. I find using scented lures at night helps since the visual appeal is downgraded so much. Although, with a nigh bright moon it almost doesn't feel like night time at all. Took my partner's uncle out a couple times this week and we had a blast catching about 2o Bluegills. We had a couple Bass on the lines that got off when they jumped out of the water. We also caught 4 catfish, such ugly fish.

I spent a year on the Florida panhandle and did a lot of fishing from my kayak. The biggest danger felt like it was the ski boats, so at least you didn't have to worry about that at night.

No doubt at night everything is much quieter and quieter I like that feeling that gives the night but usually gives me a little fear of the dark also you have to be careful as you say you walk around in the dark is a bit dangerous so it's good that you will take your brother to this fishing

I like the fish that you caught that of your brother is bigger

Hehe, yes, he did catch the biggest one this time!

I have never fished in Kayak but if it is a bit difficult to be there you have to have stability that I think so I thought it was great idea that you go out with your brother to fish

It should be interesting to do it at night where everything is very dark you should only hear the sound of the water

A great experience without a doubt

For me, fishing, should not be something frustrating, if you can not catch anything, well, it's my simple opinion, I consider spending time in complete relaxation and among friends, it's the most, take that activity to meet and talk when you're not fishing Of course, but I will tell you that these two fish look extraordinary, I congratulate you, very good fishing.

Wow....Sir @brian.rrr you have caught a beautiful fish. Really fishing is very interesting and enjoyable. I love your fishing.

Looks like fun. Do you ever shine a flashlight on the lure so the fish can see it better?

In my country there are wonderful coasts, I am lucky to have a family of fishermen, who use this practice as a livelihood for their families, they prefer to go out at night and use a special light that makes the path easy for the fish, I will try to contact them and ask for their recommendations and gladly share them with you, for them night fishing is the best.

Well, my recommendation would be, you would leave early in the morning at dawn, the sea at night is very dark and highly dangerous, and it is always good to go on good boats. I do not know how safe the kayak is, I hope you take good care of yourself and in the dawn is also very relaxing the sea, greetings from Venezuela. @ brian.rrr

I am also very fond of fishing, I usually fishing in the river, I am fishing for hobby.saat get a big fish is the most fun.
I say good luck @brian.rrr and get a lot of fish

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the good luck wishes and for you stopping by. Take care!

That’s a nice bass you got.

Hello Friend!! Lucky to have your brother and enjoy an escape for a night fishing... Few fish but at least something caught.

Fishing in kayak at night should be an experience of another level, so I see the passion for fishing is family.
I imagine you should want your child to grow up and be able to include it in the family tradition. Regards!!

Wow lovely smiling both of yours! Fish is also looking great, really it's hard to catching fish at night but i think after long time getting a fish is a kind of a good relaxing and mind satisfaction. Very nice to read your catching fish story, nice hobby, i like this, thanks to share your lovely post.

Wow if they are brave, to face those waters in kayak at night, the good thing was that they captured large fish. Nice memory!

Wow! What a beautiful fish photography Really your photography is awesome. I love fish .thanks for share this post

@brian.rrr I think everyone is not good at catching fish, because fishing is very frustrating, you are fishing for the whole day but do not get a fish, then it is a cause of annoyance, and if you get fish then you will spend your time very happy. Separate the sea fishing, what are these fish??. Just fishing 2 ?? UpVote, comments

I also love this fishing but i can't fishing never .

Thanks for sharing @brian.rrr

awesome catching. I don't do much night time fishing, but I often fish from the kayak! Moonlight shots would be cool with the fish :)
