Fishing in the dark.

[Fishaholic]

Has anyone ever fished salt water at night in wa? In marine area 2 it dosent have a night closer so I was thinking about throwing some glow in the dark  jigs and maybe fish off the bottom. Any advice?
 Thanks

Go fish the Nooch. I've hooked a few globallin there.

you can get squid at night.

we used to fish at night at the piers for hake and the occasional salmon.

Get a light and shine it in the water. we used a 100 watt bulb and all kinds of fish would attract to it

"Globallin" just means you're fishing on the bottom (plunking) with glow in the dark corkies?

Ever tried on the skykomish?

It seems like my epic line failures have happened in the dark.  Usually on my first cast.

Typically drift fishing, but I have caught steelhead plunking, and on floats/jigs or bait. I have had success on the sky also. Typically ill head out a few hours early and fish in the dark, and also catch the first light bite.

I used to night fish the Sky in the Late 70s a lot. What a hoot!! Lewis St., Rieter's,Fortson;s on the N. Stilly . Wasn't enough dayligt hour I could fish for Iron back then. Learn the feel of a bite instead of watching your tip. Having Steel jump in the moonlight is sumpin to see

Right on fellas, Im gonna have to look into some new gear. 
Thanks

Less pressure at night and no boats its my favorite way to fish steelhead

that use to be the only time we would ever fish for bass back in the day, we never kept any but we did catch some hogs... i have heard that salt water type fish are really active at the tide change at night, never have fishe the salt at night... good luck

From what I can see in the regs, the skykomish has a night closure.

Depends what section of the river your fishing.

Looks like the only thing on the sky that doesnt have night closure is the north fork. Dont think I've fished that high before. Might have to find a spot.

Most of the night closures begin Aug 1
