Hi all you squid experts <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

I was wondering what the deal is with jigging at night (shore based). I am guessing that unless you are fishing in the light at a jetty, then they can't see the jig, and seeing as they can't smell it, you might be wasting your time?
Should I be trying a baited jig (one of those ones where you spear a baitfish) at night and just suspend it from a float (should this be slowly retrieved to get some movement)?
Also, I have just bought a little jarvis walker jig with a flashing light inside - is this likely to give me results in unlit areas at night (like rock walls).?
Also, what is actually the best time? Twilight ends 7:40 pm here at the moment.
Many thanks in advance,
J
