Dazza,

 

Night fishing is good...I love it!

 

Just make sure you're well prepared...

 

I'm assuming you have a head torch, or something to aid your vision?

 

Night fishing can be fabulous, but please ensure that you have all the equipment and know-how to ensure that all fish are safely returned.

 

It's a real buzz when your float dips in the early hours...watching a star-lite diving to the depths whilst listening to the owls and watching the stars is just brilliant.

 

Not so good though if you can't see what you're doing...

and caught a perch ( i think )

I know the feeling. A few years ago when I'd moved to a different area, I had to describe a strange little fish I caught and ask what it was. Turned out to be a small perch but I'd never seen one before even though I'd been fishing for about 50 years at that time. :D
