NIGHT TIME FLY-FISHING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO
DO! TRIPS ARE CONDUCTED IN THE PROTECTED WATERS OF THE
I.C.W ( INTER COASTAL WATERWAY ) AND RESIDENTIAL CANALS.
SNOOK ARE PRIMARILY NOCTURNAL FEEDERS, AND ARE OFTEN
FOUND FEEDING UNDER LIGHTED DOCKS AND BRIDGES AFTER
DARK. A VARIETY OF OTHER SPECIES INCLUDING REDFISH, SEA
TROUT, LADYFISH, AND SMALL BLUEFISH ARE ALSO FOUND
LURKING IN THE SHADOWS NEARBY. THEY TARGET SMALL BAIT
FISH AND CRUSTACEANS. THE SMALL PREY ARE ATTRACTED TO
THE LIGHTS OVERHANGING THE WATER, LIKE MOTHS TO YOUR
FRONT PORCH LIGHT.
NIGHT TRIPS ARE AVAILABLE YEAR ROUND, THOUGH JUNE
THROUGH OCTOBER ARE PRIME MONTHS. MOST ARE OUT OF THE
ST. PETE TO CLEARWATER AREA. DURING THE WINTER MONTHS I
PREFER TO FISH THE VENICE AREA, ABOUT AN HOUR DRIVE FROM
ST. PETERSBURG. THE WATER TEMPS IN THE FAMED "SNOOK
ALLEY" STAY A FEW DEGREES WARMER, AND THE FISH STAY
MORE ACTIVE.
TIDES DICTATE WHAT TIME FRAME WE CAN FISH AT NIGHT,BUT
MOST CAN BE ARRANGED TO START AT DUSK, AND END AROUND 1
OR 2AM. OR FROM ABOUT 2 OR 3AM TILL SUN-UP. YOU CAN ALSO
INQUIRE ABOUT A COMBINATION OF PRE-DAWN AND DAYTIME

A SMALL FLY MADE TO
IMITATE THIS PREY IS THE
BEST CHOICE
FOR SUCCESS. THAT AND THE
ABILITY TO MAKE SOFT
PRESENTATIONS, MAKE A
FLY-ROD A VERY EFFECTIVE
TOOL. SMALL SOFT PLASTICS
AND TOP WATER BAITS ON
SPINNING RODS
CAN ALSO BE USED. A GREAT
TRIP FOR ANY SKILL LEVEL OF
FLY-ANGLER.
