Here is something I have always wondered about- I'll tap your wisdom on the subject of what baitfish actively feed at night. I know from my personal experience that the Pinfish shut down after dark (who could blame 'em?) but I can still catch a few grunts but not nearly as many as before dark. I have caught greenbacks and sardines after dark but only where there was a strong light source- am I wasting my time throwing an unbaited sabiki after dark where there is not much light available?

You will get more Bait Fish when there is light. I may be wrong but I do think that most Fish cannot see at night. They can only smell it. When I am trying to catch Bait Fish, I always Fish buy a Light Source. |

The Sabiki rig flashes in light. No light no flashing no bites. You can try the glow in dark ones. That may help a little

Ladyfish if you count them as bait fish, they are good cut up. I jig a gotcha slowly under a light for them. Big sabiki would probably get them too. If I want live bait I usually try to show up a few hours of sundown and spend that time trying to bait up for the night. Tip your sabiki hooks with squid for pinfish/grunts they will still find it at night.
