Cheers Iestyn.
I'm always careful to let people know where is safe etc too around our coastal marks.
Probably harder than rivers in that our tide is vast in range and 'knowing' takes years and hundreds of trips out over a mark in darkness.
However: You can see if you let your body train for night sight.
Anyway, even starlight and residual or ambient light is better than a new moon night under tree canopy somewhere on a welsh freestone river.
That's real night fishing.
Just learn to do stuff in the dark like knots etc...
Practice it at home under low candlelight. (impossible at first LOL)
Worth the effort though imho.
Photo's:
Flash kills the fishing.
I fished last night and deliberately didn't take pics because it was hard enough already.
People don't realise, but, we don't line shots up with lights, we get a feel for the shot in the dark, half depress and bang...
And people whine about the photo's being off sometimes..
I say to them...
You are welcome to try it and, if it wasn't for the blog, we wouldn't take photo's at the detriment to own sport.
I reckon it looses you 50% of the potential catch. In both time lost and the flash spooking fish.
