Thinking of doing an local lake overnighter, any suggestions for hanging a line overboard whilst downing a wobblypop or three? Or is it a waste of time @ night?

On still waters...never.. Especially in warmer weather and water conditions. Stillwater trout can be huge feeders at night. Being able to cruise the shallows and weeds in search for food items without having to worry as much about predators. Either anchoring just off a shoal and casting into the shallows, or from the shore line can produce good results under the right conditions, and using the right tactics.

nice fish!
How about coastal lakes? Different tactics given the lack of weed beds etc?

Check the eyes too. More than a couple of wobbly pops behind them I bet> :drunk:

Having watched 'Finder catch & release that fish, I can tell you without any hesitation, he was perfectly sober and had not had anything to drink the previous 4-5 hrs. or so :............... ;D ;D.....Ortho 8)

Teppit: Our coastal lakes can also produce at night. If there's a lack of weed beds close to the shore line. Then try and concentrate your efforts near drop offs, or structures such as sunken logs. If there is an inflo creek to the lake, then that would be a good place to work as well.
