I survived my first attempt at night fishing tonight – thanks again for all the input on doing this safely. I didn’t find any red nuns with my boat but also didn’t find any walleyes either. Spent the evening/night hours working shallows (2-8ft) near and into the vermilion river with one smallie to show for it. Used variuos colors of moxies and pulse r’s with no luck. I’m not giving up even though I usually leave the river feeling defeated. I enjoy the scenery too much which is what keeps bringing me back!

Thanks for the tips guys. Good to hear all the advice and will put it to good use. Keeping my boat in order will be a must. I can have it looking brand new and by the end of the day it looks like a bomb went off in my boat. Too many hazards laying around for night fishing! I’m thinking for my first trip I will have a very short leash attached to Everts. Plan of attack is to pitch my stock of moxies into shallow water and hope for the best.
