i would add a ball sinker before the skirt, and use it as is without bait and night, or maybe gooi it kak far and retrieve it in a motion that a dolphin swimslike..

 That sounds good...you never know

 

[deezynking]

if the fish are around, you def gonna get a pull without a skirt at night, but if there is no fish.... will have to put it to the test and find out i guess

I've tried several Permutations , none Of them as Neat Or well though out as the glowstick in the Skirt storythough .
Nevertheless- I use glowsticks for Non-eds rather than try foreds, though i cannot specifically tell you why . I have seen the Chokka Bomb With Glowstick Inside it , and Withing Minutes Of Danie Putting it out , he got an ON and it Was a smooth hound .
I had 3 Pick-ups One Evening , after Frans the ray destroyed The Stroke 7 at saal.
We'd been standing there and nobody was getting anything .
I hit upon the idea , and Within 20 Minutes of putting the Macekral On under the Green Light given off by the Stick , i had a GOOD on . Every now and then i remove it , as i am Not spcifically convinced that Non Eds can either actually SEE the colour , Or whtehr they respond differently to the light .
I Would flip the skirt The Other Way around - it Makes the skirt Flare , if you Will , and Gives the trace more movement .

I have tried the glow stick inside a chokka bait at the Breede many times while night fishing for cob and I must say that live mullet and chokka without the glow stick gave me much better results.

most of us prefer the skirt off when its dark(lol), but maybe should try it

Why do you have two hooks on that rig? Going to Mosselbay and want to try my hand at salt water from the side at point Village.

Any help for a newbie?

I have had the glowsticks last for 7 hours. It begins to dull the last two hours of the seven.

And it is waterproof.

I found if you freeze them, you can use them again.

Obviously you have to freeze them, before they are pap.

When i do night fishing of the Saal, i attach the glowstick with the lil tube onto the sinker line (thats when i'm going to slide a bait). This helps me to see the sinker's flight to make sure i get the direction and distance right. This only works with the greeen stick. Cant trace the flight of the red stick. Probably some scientific explanation for that. On my last trip (with the glow stick above the sinker), i picked up a cow shark within 10 mins, and on my 2nd cast i managed a big diamond ray also within a matter of minutes.

Nice!!

when you do this make sure that your drag is loose if you put the rod down after you have casted and start to make your bait ive heard many times that sharks sometimes have a go at it ive heard of guys getting pulled flat with out even a bait on the water when they have glowsticks on at night...

 

also sometimes in the day a shark might pick up your shiny sinker(seen in before when the rod gets pulled flat and then the sinker is bittenb off before even a bait is in the water!)

so always have drag fairly loose while you are not there as even with no bait you can get a pull...

the one guy here gareth (not sure what his name is here) even landed a bronzie when its slide trace in its mouth got tangled on his line!

I don't use glow stick on my bait, mainly because I've never seen anybody out fish somebody because they are using it. This might sound obvious but the main objective is to get the fish to mouth your bait. At night kob will hunt via smell, taste and there lateral line, I don't think they rely on sight much. With bait fishing, the bait doesn't make any "vibration" so your basically relying on it to detect your bait by smell and taste (except when using live bait). So to the fish, if it smells like food (nice fresh bait) and it tastes like food= its food. And by the time it mouths the bait it should be VAS on a nice proud hook. In my mind the extra light will only help the kob reject your bait...

I don't know for other the non eds...

DJP, jou verduideliking maak sin ja, dit gee die vis nie rerig n rede om die aas dan te vat nie, dis nou met die gloeilig aan! Dit gee darem so bietjie "lig" aan die aand veral as die vis nie byt nie. 

 Het die volgende op die Net gelees..dis miskien bietjie af van die onderwerp af...maar iets om in gedagte te hou. Sal graag meer detail wil weet:

 

"Glow sticks are used in the fishing industry because they attract fish. It is believed that the glowing light looks the same as the glowing light emitted by some types of fish. Some fish that are attracted by this light are swordfish, tuna, bass, salmon, walleye and panfish. Not only do the glow sticks attract fish by themselves, they also light up the bait or other lures, which allows the fish to see them from a greater distance."

hey guys,

this is what i do when fishing at ushaka reefs in durban or most other reefs in general at night, had some success, the likes of small grey sharks, and a nice stumpy. put a glow stick directly after the hook with no flotation, then baited up a whole baby squid around it. first bait tried like this rewarded me with a stumpie of 4.5kgs
