dont forget a flashlight.leds are the best as the battery will last for ever.have fun

My friend and I started fishing nights a couple of years ago and I have a few suggestions. I went to the dollar store and bought about 5 push button lights. They have 3 led's that give off plenty of light. I put a small piece of Velcro on the back and that allowed me to stick these anywhere on the boat that has carpet.

Bugs are a pain and I am now going to temporarily mount some underneath my seat so that the light shines down.

Also there are numerous hand held lights out there that have a spotlight feature that can help you spot check shore.

The Dollar store also has clip on visor lights for your hat. Good luck and be safe.

Speaking of flashlights and such......... a few weeks back my buddy and I were night fishing a large sand quarry. We were about 50 yards from the launch when someone started shining a powerful flashlight at us. My buddy yells "Hey jackass, whaddya doing ?" to which said jackass replied "Winslow Twp. police. Bring the boat to the ramp" Uh Oh.

Everything turned out ok, a few laughs had by us and the cops and we were back fishing within a few minutes ;D

Glad you guys didn't get locked up! HaHa!

Technically the area has a curfew, but they aren't really concerned with fishermen as much as people having out of control bonfires or drinking excessively. As long as they don't see beer cans laying all over the boat and everything else is in order they pretty much leave you be.

A lot of cops around here are fishermen and hunters themselves so you end up talking about that with them for a while before they go.
