ok, my night fishing experience was as follows; ossoyoos lake, spring time, early spring time, fishing all day and then into the night because I know the carp show up in the shallows looking for food, depending on where you are fishing, this is all from the shore by the way , so then bang bang bang the carp are biting and being dragged in with my ultra light bamboo rod and tiny shimano reel . Oh , and they were released too. I was just in it for the fun, and did have fun. I have caught some In the daytime big lunkers too but not in the shallows, another place on this nice lake. what a crowded place though in the summer. summmer is no good for the night shallow fishing, no luck this last summer. ok, there you have it!!
