I got a submersible fishing light tonight from Gander and am not sure how to use it. Just hang it out the side of the boat? How long does it take fish to find it? Should I fish by the light or on the edges? Does it really work? In stained to muddy water or better in clear water? Do the red and green lenses make a difference? I didn't know if you used certain shades in different water types or if they'd draw different types of fish or what.

Tell me everything you know about night fishing with a light. All I have is a white light...

How deep?
How long?
What color?
What time?

All is appreciated, I'm green.

I'm not sure what I'm doing when it comes to night fishing for crappie...someone help me out. Thanks alot.
