A lot of fish are attracted to light, which is why fishing with lights is banned in many places.stingray4540 said:Um... I don't think it's instinct for fish to do that. I''ve gone fishing at night and have flashed a light on shallow fish but I've never seen them jump because of it. These must have to be a specific species of fish that do this.
Why would you purposely put your boat in their way when they can crack their skull or break their jaws? If you catch any, only take your maximum allowable and don't capitalize on it. Furthermore, kill them immediately instead of letting them suffer while thrashing around in the boat.branflake12 said:you can find any big lake in canada and drive a fishing boat over a random school of shad and almost iwthout fail 3 or 4 will land in the boat while dozens other just jump out like crazy...no night-no flashlight-if the fish jump they jump- not really cruel or anything, instinct i sure but iodn tknow why.
