Night time fishing

#1 Post by RockySXC »

Is night time a good time for fishing and i mean middle of the night, i am shore fishing and trying to get out a couple of times a week but with tides times it ain't easy to always fish at suitable times. the mark i use is best fished on an incoming tide.

May seem like a stupid question to all ye experienced anglers out there but for a beginner who currently has no clue!!

planning on heading out tonight anyway but would appreciate any and all advice available...

the beaches either side of Courtown have night tides at the moment, THINK TONIGHT IS AROUND MIDNIGHT..
Good chance of Smoothounds and some flatfish too, ragworm will catch either or peeler crab.

I am fishing the North East, although it is more of a question about fishing in general....
