Awesome report. Thanks.

Wow, what a grind....good job guys!

Great report and story guys. Remember what I said about night time...still gotta have the other factors in your favor or it's just more casting practice. Always adds to the adventure though.

We had everything about as perfect for nighttime fishing as you could get. 4 days either side of a full moon, high tide with bait all balled up on a shell ridge on an outfall drain with a slowly outgoing tide and no boats on the water and water trout green to a tea color.No bugs, no boat traffic and some good reports of good trout being caught in the near vicinity.Sometimes they just don't want to eat.I threw corkys, big corky devils and topwaters and bass assains.Heck I'm always needing casting practice in the middle of the night anyways...I love it and will be out there next full moon as well, no matter the conditions or anything else, most likely by myself.Something about having the entire bay to yourself for 5-6 hours without all the jetski/kiyak/boating community buzzing all around.

Sounds like pretty good conditions. Last time Henry and I talked, he was asking about night fishing. I mentioned a few condition pieces that I like. Still want a pressure change or a minor or major period to cooincide with my wade. There's just never a way to be sure but to be there and check. My schedule the last few years hasn't allowed near as many night wades. Catch the sunrise and sunsets when I can, but the all nighters seem fairly distant in my memory.

Great report and pic's Henry.My phone didn't ring.lol.Some of us did well the other night but we stayed in the boat.

[GreenTide]

Great read Henry! There is no harder worker out there than you are. Nice overall catch. The time / return ratio needs a little work but end result was great.

[plugger]

HAR !! Yeah , it hasn't been very efficient . But , I keep plugging along .

[dbarham]

dang good report men

[Curmudgeon]

Great report Plugger. Nice series of pics as well. I've never done any night fishing, but it looks like it was worth it. Good hard fun!
