5 REASONS WHY NIGHT FISHING ROCKS! 1: IT’S AN ADVENTURE Let’s face it; although some anglers might take it for granted, going night fishing is a bit of an adventure, right? I don’t know about you but I still get a buzz from setting off with all my night kit, knowing that I’m going to be spending the night beneath my brolly or, even better, under the stars. Being suddenly and abruptly woken up by a bite in the middle of the night is also a great adrenaline rush, more so than a daytime bite, and this adds to the adventure and excitement of it all. 2: THE SOCIAL Although the majority of my fishing now is done alone, I still love the social element of fishing at night with a mate or two. This is even more enjoyable at this time of year when it’s not dark till late and is then light nice and early.
