Safety Is Always First

Night-fishing has its own set of dangers. Tripping over tackle in the dark, running afoul of a hook left laying on the ground and even getting lost are all possibilities. Take a few essentials to make your night-fishing trip safe. Pack a flashlight, a few band-aids, sanitary hand wipes and a hook remover kit. Better yet, use only conservation hooks after the sun goes down. You can make your own by using a pair of needlenose pliers to flatten the barb. Conservation hooks make unhooking your catch a cinch and the hook comes out of a wayward hand a whole lot easier, as well.
