Is night fishing better than daytime?
——————————————- Usually the answer to this is yes. There are a few exceptions such as wrasse, but most predatory fish are far more active at night. Of course other factors such as the colour of the water have an effect, fish can be caught more readily in coloured water in daytime compared to clear water. Some species are only worth fishing for after dark, shore caught rays are rare in daylight, also cod feed far better after sundown. Other fish follow the rising plankton as the sun sets and feed far higher in the water as the sun sets. Pollack are well known for this.
