To increase your chances of having a successful fishing trip, it's important to arrive at the beach just before the tide starts to recede. It's crucial to keep track of the changes in tides.

Small-scale fishermen who use small fishing boats are unable to venture into deep waters with large nets for deep-sea fishing. Instead, they focus on fishing in shallow offshore waters.

During the daytime, there are numerous predators in shallow waters, causing the fish to either flee to deeper areas or scatter and hide. Consequently, small-scale fishermen who venture out in their small boats during the day may not have a bountiful catch.

As a result, many small fishermen choose to fish at night when the fish are attracted to light sources.

Night fishing at sea poses a significant challenge in terms of navigation safety.

There have been numerous instances of fishing boats colliding with ships, encountering floating obstacles, or running aground on reefs when they venture out late at night.

The nighttime sea conditions are often windy, visibility is reduced, and the limited naked-eye vision makes it difficult for the crew to assess the surrounding water environment. Thus, there are various uncertainties associated with nighttime fishing trips on small boats.

The ability to navigate at night depends on the boat's nighttime navigation configuration and design. Small boats that lack the necessary equipment for night navigation are not permitted to sail at night according to the new navigation regulations.

It is crucial for yachts, fishing boats, pilot boats, and other small vessels to adhere to certain precautions for nighttime navigation. Before setting out to sea, it is important to thoroughly check the boat to ensure its safety, stability of the power system, and the presence of essential safety equipment such as life jackets, non-slip shoes, and mooring ropes.

Additionally, the crew should be aware that nighttime accidents at sea are more likely due to poor visibility, making it necessary to employ night vision aids and utilize marine night vision devices to enhance surveillance.

Unpredictable weather conditions should be closely monitored by checking updates from the Maritime Bureau.

While fishing on a yacht or fishing boat is a popular hobby, night fishing can be particularly risky. To enhance navigation, maintain a vigilant lookout, and prevent collisions, fishing boats should be equipped with marine night vision devices and other monitoring equipment.

Considering the limited space and load capacity of small boats such as yachts, fishing boats, and pilot boats, it is advisable not to overload them with large and heavy marine night vision devices.
