Since fish are less likely to associate night time to fishermen, they tend to take bait with less resistance and hesitation. Almost like they are thinking to themselves "There is no way this is a fisherman's bait, it midnight for crying out loud". This results in better hooking of fish.

Maybe it's fact that fish are more likely to feed based on sound and vibration at night, unlike day when they can also use vision.

Since you will be catching bigger fish at night, you can also use bigger bait. Personally, I find it easier to use bigger lures anyway, so it works out better for me at same time.

You don't have to worry about all other boats zipping around you at night, like you do during day. This alone is enough to make some fishermen want to only fish at night. The peaceful serenity at night is hard to beat.

If you fish at night in summertime, you will also appreciate cooler weather compared to fishing during day.

If you have never been night fishing before, you need to get out there and try it at least once. You may never want to fish during day again!

Places where you get a few nibbles during day will often lead to many catches at night in same spot.

Night fishing can make a bad daytime fisherman look good.

I always like to keep track of lures that work at certain fishing spots during day, and then try exact same thing at night. Try it next time you are out. You'll be amazed at difference a simple variable (time of day) has on your results.

Here is a simple way to keep track.

One a piece of paper, write four column headings:

Place Lure Used Number Catches Size of Fish ----- --------- -------------- ------------

Then, write down your results from your day time fishing below columns on your paper. After you try a few difference spots with a few different lures, do exact same thing you did during day at night this time.
