The vast majority of my fishing is done in daylight hours, simply because i enjoy it more. For me, one of the great joys in angling is being out on the banks, amongst nature, watching the wildlife. Pretty hard to do that in the dark!
I've nothing against those who fish in the dark, i do it myself from time to time, particularly at this time of year. I don't agree that night fishing makes barbel harder to catch, my thoughts are similar to Crooky's. I fish a river that see's a lot of barbel anglers on the banks, the vast majority fish the evening into dark. The barbel are very catchable during daylight hours - and a lot easier to spot.
Im with u andrew most of my fishing is in day light but this time of uear its into dark because when i finish work it is dark i do like fishing over night in the summer aswel night fishing shouldnt be banned.
