We do go out at sunset a bunch but we never stray far from our inlet. The river has to many logs floating and some that are 30 ft from shore that stick out of the water about a 6 inches and are hard to see during the day much less at night. Plus the barges at night are hard to see and can really creep up on you before you know it. We were out on the fourth of july and sitting on the river watching fireworks. I kept telling my wife something is off and I swear there is something coming at us. She would look and say I was crazy. I never took my eyes off it and all the sudden I hear a horn. It was a barge about 6-700 feet from us. We were not in direct line with it or anything and i started up the boat and moved further over but that scared the heck out of my wife. The whole thing came down to it being dark and your depth perception is way off. Once they blew the horn the whole barge came into view. At night everything changes so we do get out every once in a while but not to often.
