| It was a bonanza of slots tonight in the darkness. |
Overall, it was a pretty dead day today in the daylight along the oceanfront. But, there was some bait around, and I have been making an effort in the last couple of weeks to fish later at night. So, I decided that I would stick it out tonight well after dark.
It paid off. As it got pitch dark, I noticed fish starting to break right in front of where I was casting. As a bonus I also saw large 5 and 6 inch peanut bunker washing up onto the shore as they tried to escape the predators. When I saw that I snapped on my 5 inch NLBN paddle tail with a one ounce NLB head, a dead ringer for large peanut bunker. All of it worked to perfection as I had a hit or a fish just about every cast for a solid hour after dark. The fish were also good size with most of them either slots or just under slot size.
At this time of year it is always a good idea to stick it out until after dark. In today's location, there were a few fishermen at sunset. But, they just about all left right at dark and missed out on the nighttime bonanza.
