night fishing
Casting after dark
Night fishing is angling done after dark, when certain species feed more actively and water temperatures cool.
It requires specialized gear—lights to attract fish or illuminate the water, and often glow-in-the-dark lures or bobbers.
We went night fishing for catfish off the dock.
