| Just a reminder to all those enquiring about night fishing and how to go about it.... Be carefull out there, especially at night on a new body of water, relying on your GPS. There were two different boating accidents last week up on Lake Vermilion where the boaters (muskie fisherman) ran their rigs into either rock piles/reefs and an island late night, because of GPS Navigation problems. One guy went through the windshield, one broke a leg and a couple of them were impaled with muskie lures from being slammed into the rocks... The causes of the accidents were GPS Navigation failures. Whether relying too much on the GPS for navigation or just not paying attention, stuff happens. GPS are not 100% accurate.
Another issue is lights... I won't even get started about all the jackasses who deem it ok to fish without their lights on with 40 other boats spot hopping at 1am on a Saturday night. Only a matter of time before something bad happens. And it'll probably happen to the poor soul who has thier lights on that will run into one of these guys... Needs to be a little more enforcement on these lakes at night.
