Posted by Garica Ward on February 25th, 2016

Fishing during late night hours can be a very peaceful and calming experience. Majority of people love nigh fishing because it has least fishing pressure and you can fish for a large variety of aquatic animals as many of them get near surface only after sun goes down. However, you may need some special kinds of fishing equipment such as fish attracting light or freshwater fishing lights for this purpose. You can easily lure in and catch specific animals like catfish, walleye, or crappie. There are several other kinds of species that you can catch if you apply the right technique and equipment. However, there are a few tips that must be followed by fishermen for their own safety and getting the right catch.

The first thing that you must carry while going for night fishing is underwater fishing lights. Most people prefer to carry the 25-40 watts fluorescent submersibles for this purpose. These lights are known for emitting 1000-3000 lumens of light and you will be amazed to see the amount of plankton that is attracted by these lights. These small organisms are major food item for most nocturnal species. These fishes love to attack and enjoy a little before they make the kill. Bait fish is considered as one of the main ingredients that is required for a successful fish trip at wee hours. These lights can be highly useful even when you are aiming to catch a fish such as walleye. You can make the best catch when a swarm of fishes surrounds your fishing light. All that you will be required to do is cast the rigs at the edge of your source of light and you can get ready for an exciting adventurous night.

Other than this, you will need surface night lighting. These are important not only for fishing but also for your own safety. It will help other night time recreational boaters and fishermen in identifying you. You may not be knowing that lot many watercraft accidents take place due to absence of surface lighting. Another benefit of having a surface light is that it will attract other kinds of insects which in return would lure in bait fish and other game fishes. Just be sure that the lights get hanged over the surface of your boats. In case you are using the Coleman kind of lantern for this purpose, ensure that you keep the side face of your boat safe. It will reflect the across the water and limit the number of insects that may attack while you tread though the boat.
