Who gets called "crazy"??

[akozols]

Since things are a bit slow now I'd figure I'd bring up a topic for discussion. When ever I tell people about going out in a yak in the middle of the night, everybody calls me crazy. I'd like to think of it as being adventurous rather than crazy.

Who else gets called crazy?

Thats like saying the astronauts who go up in the shuttle are crazy. And it could be, if the individual had no kayak experience , didnt bring any safety gear and went to great egg inlet during a North Easter. But just like the astronauts you and I know what we can do and cant do safely based on our experience and equipment.

I get called crazy almost everytime. But I actually feel safer at night then during the day with all the trafic around. And the winds are usually lighter at night.

Not crazy but fun none the less. I was all geared up ready to launch in Cape May this summer, late morning. A lady looks everything over and sees a 6 in rubber shad rigged on one rod. Her eyes bug out of her head and she says " That bait is big, what's out there?" "hopefully bigger fish" was the answer!

I get called crazy once in a while, but I feel the same way waterbug does. A lot less boats out at night, less noise so you're more likely to notice them when they're around. Don't know that I'd say that night time winds are lighter........but it seems liek they're the opposite of what the daytime winds are.........in my experience anyway.

Plus, I have a much easier time finding fish at night.

I was out in back of wreck inlet last spring casting along a sod bank when a boat comes by and stops and the guy says "what the hell you doing out here? are you OK?" I said thanks for checking, but I'm doing fine. This year was my first season doing alot of night fishing. Night yak fishing definitely takes some getting used to, especially if you travel any distance away from lights and civilization. The waters "expand" a great deal in the darkness, and it can be easy to get lost if you don't know the territory well. But when you have the right equipment, and you get used to it, it is awesome out there.
