Targeting large predatory fish under the blanket of night increases your success rate. But, it also introduces risks. One risk is getting disorientated when fog settles down. Hence, I always carry a compass! 😉
When you are fishing at night on a remote rock, beach, or lake and the fog settles in around you, having a small compass in your pocket is better than no compass. But, I personally prefer the Suunto SK7 wrist compass.
The liquid filled and water proof SK7 has a 2.25″ diameter face and a phosphorescent card, which makes it super easy to read under all conditions. Despite it’s size, the SK7 is surprisingly light. During my trips, I often forgot that it’s on my wrist.
I am an all species and all methods angler. The Suunto SK7 is my go-to compass for surfcasting, skishing, and kayaking. Whatever compass you choose, make sure it’s accurate, easy to read, and easily accessible.
