Limiting out, after curfew

It was a gorgeous night on the lower Susquehana Flats. Calm flat seas surrounded us as we watched the sun set, in t-shirt and jean weather. We were able to trick a few keepers on some black and chrome rattletraps. Then as the sun went below the horizon we hit it big on topwater. After some drag was "zinging" on light tackle, Greg pulled in a nice,almost 25 inch fatty, on a white topwater plug with a fly teaser. Even though it was getting late, it paid to stay out until the bite cooled off. In the past we might have packed it in to catch the last light for the ride home. As we've gained more experience though, we've begun to prepare to come in at dark. Having headlamps, a deck flood light, life jackets, good GPS routes and a million candle power spotlight are key tools to help navigating your way safely home in the dark. Sometimes its worth staying out after the street lights come on.
