Boat Fishing At Night Checklist

Here is an easy checklist of items you will need before you head out for a night fishing trip.

** Two Flashlights with new batteries in each. -Sure enough, one of those flashlights is not going to work when you get out onrepparttar water. Of course, this usually happens when you only have one flashlight with you.

(While it isn't mandatory, if you are serious about night fishing, you should have an Evening Secret on your boat - for maximum catching at night.) (http://www.eveningsecretfishing.com/specialsecret/boat-prep.php)

** Insect repellant -A good mosquito repellant is critical to your sanity onrepparttar 115938 water. We have used "Skin-so-soft" by Avon and I think it worksrepparttar 115939 best out of any of them. Anything with deet is better than nothing at all.
