conclusion, i think its what u put ure faith in, white 4 u and green for me



these were caught by my customers in a lil over 2 hrs on the first night trip of the season near a dock in ventress
Well Ive seen some folks use green lights and if they are using live bait they will catch a few fish. But I dont fish with live bait because I can catch all the fish in the world with jigs so why spend the money on live bait? Ive used the green lights, and I didnt say they wouldnt bring in fish I just said they affect the way that they hit my baits. You know I wished I had pictures of when we used to target crappie on Beaver with a White light. Back when the limit was 20 per person weve caught as many as 100 crappie in one night.
I think I know that guy on the right in your picture. His name is Curtis. That guy used to go with me fishing at night for whites. If that is him and Im pretty sure it is. I used to catch about 50 Whites to his One when he fished with me. Using Jigs to catch fish under lights is not for rookies even good fisherman when they first try it find it difficult. The fish spit the jig really quick. But Ill guarantee you one thing green lights are no better than white lights I do beleive that the green lights draw fish in, but there is something about that color that affects them in the way they see or something. All I know is I feel Ive got alot of experience night fishing with lights, and I can catch the hell out of fish with white lights, and I cant hardly catch crap with green lights. Even if im around other boats with green lights I cant catch fish. Now if your using live bait sure you will catch some fish.
Years back I used to love it when a boat would pull in close to me and put out white lights i loved it when there were 5 boats all bunched up with white lights. We would absolutely slaughter the whites, but nowadays about 3/4 of the folks have green lights and it just takes one green light to just shut it all down. Ive got just one question for you Have You ever tried white lights?
