Night boat fishing

[saving private brian]

Hi All

Has anyone tried some night fishing on the boat... i may be going out very soon and i am just wondering if you found it much better than day

Also

What rigs did you find works the best, and what species are likely to be about bar congers

Cheers

Because of the generally deeper water fished from a boat it would have less of an impact on the fishing versus the shore.

You would also want to make sure you have at least one other with you and are very experienced on the water.

In short, not worth the risk night fishing on open water.

Update

Sorry wanted to add that this will be carried out on charter boat with a very very experienced skipper

If you are not prepared for night fishing it can be tough going on the body, your body will want to go to sleep!
I would say I have never found the fishing any better for sharks etc at night. I've tried it a few times and would reckon you get more fishing done on a long day trip.
