Thursday night, 7-21-2011, myself and a friend of mine,fished the lake at night for the first time. We were headed towards Chucks Marina,and saw a few lights to our right.We decided to continue towards Chucks and work our way back.
The last point on the right,facing Chucks is where we started fishing. Before we could make the first cast, The owner comes out of his house walks out to the end of the pier and cuts the light off!!!  Ok, it's his light, no problem. My partner begins to make a few casts where the light was,and this guy goes and gets a flashlight, comes back,and shines it directly in my face!!

He does this for 10 minutes or so,I just sit there,thinking what a JERK he is.   I had a Q Beam at my feet and wanted to light him up, but didn't want to stoop to his level. So we moved on. Nothing was ever said to each other,but I wanted to give him a mouthfull. Not for turning the light off, but standing there shining a light in my face.  Why does one have to be an  A_ _?
  The next light we go to,as we approach,the owner is sitting at the end of his pier. I didn't see him until the last minute.I tell him sorry sir, I didn't see you,we'll move own. He responses,Their is some good sized fish here.I asked, you don't mind us fishing? Not at all. We catch and release a fish,and he starts to leave,I spoke and said, Sir thanks for letting us fish your light, no problem he says.  Moral of the story,  It's Hot during the day,first time ever to fish Martin at night,Not looking to impose on nobody,make nobody mad, just catch and release a few fish,and enjoy life.
THANKS TO THE OWNERS WHO PUT OUT THE LIGHTS AND DON'T MIND LETTING PEOPLE FISH THEM!!! AND TO THE JERK THAT SHINES HIS LIGHT IN SOMEONES FACE AFTER TURNING HIS LIGHT OFF, GET A LIFE,AND WHY BOTHER PUTTING THE THING OUT AND TURNING IT ON IF YOU ARE GOING TO ACT THAT WAY.. Thanks

Thanks for all the responses!! And thanks to everyone that don't mind us fishermen fishing the lights.
I 'm from Opelika,and have not freshwater fished that much in the last few years. I got bit by the saltwater bug a few years back.But in the last year,and after the oil spill I sold the Cape Horn offshore boat.And with gas prices,and fish limits, {2 red snapper} it was the thing to do. Used to fish the bay at night alot for specks and reds,which was alot of fun.

Fishin these green underwater lights,remind me alot of that.I love to see and cast to a fish,also it's cool,temp.wise,and most every body is off the lake. Very peacefull fishing. My plans are in the next few weeks is to start around midnight,fishing the lights with some spot-tail minnows. If you happen to see me,I'll be in a 19' Carolina Skiff with a 40 hp 4 stroke yamaha tiller on back, stop and give me a hollar.  Thanks All.

P.S.   To anyone that fishes for stripes, I have a manual Cannon downrigger that was used one time several years ago,that I'd sell cheap to someone. It comes with the base,clips,weight,etc   e mail me   @    fishinwhits@hotmail.com
