That's the thing isn't it, night fishing = fishing at night!
Why do you need a bivvy and sleeping bag when you're fishing?
Sleep = not watching rod, not watching rod = not fishing /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif
Therefore, bivvy and sleeping bag = camping. I know you can all say "alarms" but in my book they are for getting you up in the morning for work and other boring stuff.
John's right, a spot of river fishing with just a rod, net, comfy chair and a bag. Keeping on the move and stopping the arthritic seizures from taking hold.
My mat is rolled up and sits in the bottom section of my korum bag /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif.
