king salmon fishing at nite

[BAITNH]

during the heat of the summer   has anyone tried fishing  for  Kings at night.  With  all the glow stuff out there  now   I would think  to see  many boats out there  in the wee hours?

I've asked the same thing....everyone says it's a waste of time and money

We've stayed out past dark quite a few times.  (this was after catching fish before it got dark)  Good luck to you!!  We tried all types of glow stuff.

I would say in a full moon the fish might be more willing to bite. Had my best trip ever catching our first fish at about 9 pm and they wouldn't stop hitting so we had to stay til midnight. Hard to land but we went 6 for 15 or so. This has happened twice of pry 8 attempts, when they don't want to bite after sun down ull wash lures

Also it only happened when the fish were inside of 50 ft in the fall

I really like the twilight bite. But once that sun is below the horizon, time to head in.

I don't like it, don't think it's that effective, and it's too dangerous boating at night.

 

I've seen lots of guys doing it, and sure some may catch fish, but I don't think it is

as productive as day fishing.

Salmon are sight predators, sight predators need light to see.
