Trolling after dark?

[Joe Walsh]

Does anyone troll after dark? Is it productive, what baits do you use?

Thanks

Dusk always seemed to be the most productive, but during the summer we would catch a few after dark.....mostly in 8 to 15' of water using small baits mimicking peanut bunker.

Last night sucked after dark though. This time of the year it's dark so darn early.

I have never tried it but would think bait would be a better choice in the dark...

Back in the day, for salmon in a different fishery, we used to use glow plugs with great results. Not sure about this fishery but I would not mind trying some time. Best to keep a careful eye out for the crab pots!

I have considered using glow in the dark twister tails and shad. Losing daylight at 5 really sucks.

Years ago - we trolled around the bay bridge at night. Two rods with Tony #19 spoons. 6 ozs and 12 ozs in lines.

Caught some nice fish near eastern Rockpile and huge concrete anchor on new bridge.

Always wanted to try a full spread at night in spring off Breezy Point - sure they'll hit.
