I work at night so I'm used to being up all hours; but I've rarely fished into the night....

I'm definately interested, so let me know when and where and I'll let you know if I can do it; I'd be a non-boater.

I have horrible night vision so the glow stick thing doesn't cut it for me, I use a bright ass head lamp which makes it easier for me. But when the moon is out, it is a lot easier and safer for everybody imo. You can see floating objects better, other boats, spotting movement, seeing the shore, ect...You never know when some knuckle heads might be out there without lights in a canoe or something, if it's pitch black, you might not see them until it is to late unless you have radar Laughing

But I will fish either way. It is a different world out there at night, the water comes to life, you don't have to deal with the traffic and I always have better luck.

I have done .....Bantam, Westhill, Twin,Tyler and Congamond. The only light I have used is light from the fish finders and navigation lights. I only use a flashlight when re tying. You get used to it I have noticed it is better to fish when it is hot ,humid and drizzley. If you can get on them with spinnerbaits
The bite is furocious! I have always caught nice fish. The only thing that sucks are the surface weeds and constantly cleaning your bait

Ya , Stratos thats all I use, I also have a hat light that clip on my hat, I like the total darkness, especially when the bats are out.

No way I can do a 10 hr night tourney, especially on Lilli. How bout Congamond, Twin or Bantam. Maybe start it at 8pm and go until 1am. Maybe even do West Hill and if any trout are caught we can give them to

No disrespect here, but if I'm going to do a night tournament I'd like to be able to choose my own partner (non-boater) a Ctfish or not. Several reasons, safety being one.
