I fish East Bay at night a lot out of Matagorda, in my kayak. One thing about fishing at night. Everything that can go wrong, will go wrong. It'll test your patience. I fish a lot of back lakes and sloughs and when there is any wind, which is most of the time, precise casting is difficult, because you usually can't see your lure. If there is no wind, then don't forget your bug spray. lol Sometimes those shallow coves really heat up at night, especially on a low tide that flushes the bait out of the grass. You will hear schools of reds coming toward you from 50 yards away because they are popping the bait so hard. A large noisy top water, like a Super Spook is usually my first choice. I have caught 26" trout up in sloughs where they would never be in the daytime. It is best in the summer when you can avoid the 90-100 degree daytime temps.
