Exercising the After-dark Option for Fishing Success — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability

Exercising the After-dark Option for Fishing Success — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability: "Night fishing for after-dark feeder species such as walleye can be as productive as it is frustrating until you get used to the challenges created by limited visibility.

If daylight hours are the only time you’re wetting a line, you’re missing some prime angling action. It’s not for everyone, but after-dark efforts can reap huge rewards for fishermen who adjust their schedules, tweak their methods, and rig their boats for night fishing. A side benefit of night fishing is the peace and quiet it offers on waters that may be crowded with other boaters while the sun is up."

St. Croix Avid Surf Rod — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability

St. Croix Avid Surf Rod — www.outdoorhub.com — Readability: "The false albacore were about 120 yards out, across the last visible bar, and they were tearing up the water. Gulls and gannets were diving into the chopped-up bait and anglers were lined up, but they were casting short of where the party was happening. From time to time, you could see glass minnows flipping out of the surface in a long stripe. Most of the anglers were casting spinning reels with eight- or nine-foot rods; I was using a nine-foot rod with an old Abu 6000 reel with the casting weights removed."
