Casting at night on boat !

[eman89so]

Good morning! I've been intrigued as to casting for kings at night in September and was hoping if anyone had some insight as the best spoons to use!? I know moonshine makes a glow spoon so I'll definitely be getting some of those ! Any tips would be appreciated it is something that I have never done before but I am interested in trying it!! Thanks!

Seems like using a boat complicates things? Why not just walk out on one of the many piers?

Only 1 pier at olcott and it gets people. I'd like to be by myself and be able to move around

Charter My Bonnie runs a trip like that in the river at ollicot in the evenings

My cousin and I would do that very thing off of sandy creek in hamlin. Glow cleos worked well for us. Steady hook ups all night. Few landed. Alot of foul hooked fish I guess. But alot of fun.

I believe Olcott piers are closed until further notice due to stone renovation work

Just remember possession of them after dark is illegal, who knows why.

Whaler can you send me where that is stated thx.. believe that is untrue and only certain parts 

[eman89so]

Sobar yes they got it all tore up!

Is that something recent Bill? I havent done it in years

[eman89so]

I've seen people keep fish of that pier for 10 years

Page 67 of the new Fishing Regulations Guide- 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset is permitted, or 1/2 hour after sunset to 1/2 hour before sunrise is prohibited is their wording on it.

 Isn't that below the bridge?

I could be wrong Joe, I just remembered that from night fishing across from the yacht club years ago.  DEC used to walk the bank and write tickets.

Fisherman21 will know, hopefully he finds this thread

[eman89so]

That's upstream. I am in lake. 

[spinfly]

They don't always make things crystal clear: New York State Freshwater Fishing Guide (ny.gov)

[REELDRAG2]

We were also in the lake.

[eman89so]

I've never heard of not being able to keep fish in the lake. I will call dec in am

[whaler1]

Pier guys should know, that’s in the lake too.

It's perfectly legal to fish and possess fish, downstream from the first bridge...... so for Sandy, from the Parkway bridge to the lake is fine.......... it's upstream from the parkway bridge that it becomes a violation. 

[eman89so]

I thought it was the bridge 💪 all good sweet

Whaler stated tributary regs . For Sandy it is south of the parkway bridge. I believe they start Aug 15 but I'm not sure 

 

 But it seem to matter less and less to people because they fish there after dark more and more . 

 

I reported to DEC last year . They got back to me about a week later and thanked me for my concern . Don't know what happened 

 

I was in my row boat this spring under the bridge and CEO called me over and checked my license . I told him of the antics down there at night salmon time . He told me he does not like to go down there at night alone because he has arrested some he checked that had warrants down there and it can become dangerous for him down there . Can't say I blame him. 

 

I thought of getting a paint ball gun and launching rounds at the offenders because I can see them from my Sun room and it kind of kisses me off .
