Fishing at night

Catfish. Saltwater catfish. We could not keep them off our lines! About the only thing I ever found them good for was bait for cobia and jewfish. We were going through bait like there was no tomorrow, but I persisted knowing that a huge mangrove snapper was just watching and waiting to take one of those baits.
It’s pretty tough baiting hooks and removing fish at night. It’s doubly tough when you have to do it for you and the person fishing with you. My rod was in the rod holder doubled over and the drag was singing that sweet tune that says a big fish on! I grabbed the rod and began fighting. Night fishing is fun you need to take bug repellent and a good lantern.
