Was not making any excuses for "night fishing". I was simply expressing a REASON that I now refrain from doing so. There is a difference. I agree it can be just as dangerous during daylight hours. However, in my humble opinion, I have a much greater chance of avoiding an impaired boat operator, thereby avoiding serious injury or even worse...death, if I can see them and hopefully take evasive action! Your chances of doing so are greatly diminished during the time of darkness. Especially if no running lights are displayed. See Hook1's post on 6-5-17 titled "Boat Operations At Night". My post was not an attempt to discourage anyone from fishing at night. Fish on brother. I hope you enjoy safe fishing whether daylight or dark.
