Don't Fish at Night, By: Steve

You are asleep.

      POP. SPISHH. SPISHH-pshh. POP! pshhhhh-SLAP! POOSH!....... KA-POUUSH! POP! spshhhh.... At night the flats are a noisy place, the crabs, grass shrimp, mullet, and spearing are getting eaten by bluefish and striped bass. You probably wouldn't like it, it's dark....

 ....And there's no one else around. Weird things happen out there at night, it's safer at home, tucked in with a book of popular fishing knots.

People go missing out there, and they're never found again. The dark plays tricks on your mind.

      You really don't want to go fishing at night, you have work to consider, you need your rest, people depend on you.

Bluefish don't bite at night.

When the sun comes up you can head out safely, drift congenially with the fleet, jig the inlet for fluke.

      THE END
