    Potomac Night Fishing

    I was considering doing some night fishing this weekend but I don't know if there are any launches that allow launching/parking after sunset. Does anyone know if these exist. I've checked dnr's website but everything is listed as open 'sunrise to sunset'.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Does Slavins have a time restriction? I've never checked but I'd imagine you could unload the yak, then go park along a street in those neighborhoods and not have to worry about being towed.

      I was thinking the same thing, but according to DNR, its sunrise to sunset. Not sure how aggressively its enforced as I imagine there are plenty of people already there before dawn trying to get an early start.

        Yeah that's a good question. I've been there an hour and a half before dawn, but I wonder if I would have been penalized if DNR had been there. Probably one of those things where if they're around they might enforce it. Maybe it's worth giving them a call to see if there are locations they might be lenient with, especially if you let them know beforehand. Not sure if that works that way but maybe...

          Last time I was there about a month ago, DNR was in their F350 at the launch waiting for me to pull-out. I took my time, and as soon as my yak hit the concrete, a male & female DNR approached and performed a "full inspection" - wholly within their jurisdiction, and I had nothing to hide and all my paperwork was in order. The gentleman noted that my license was expiring soon, and I sarcastically said "its still good today, correct?" who which he laughed and said have a good night.

          They do patrol Slavins on a regular basis. I'm also not sure of the hours, but dawn/dusk is a safe assumption.
