Thread: went last night

I use 2 over head white led shop lights got them at Lowes 19 dollars each I mount them close to the water to bring the crappie in close and to keep the bugs away from me I also keep them on the same side of the boat one in the front one just past the middle to create dark spots between lights crappie like to ambush from the dark I then put out 6 to 8 micro rods 1 to 2 foot from bottom in deep water starting with the deepest hole in the lake or if you have structure in a hole the better until I find them If I have not caught anything in a hour I move I also find the higher I fish in the water column the more gar I catch this is a fun way to fish and you can load the boat plus you don't have all the other boats to contend with you can also drift at night I still use lights only to see the rods and it works pretty good but I like sitting in a hole and let them come to me hope this helps forgot to mention I use minnows with jigs and some without jigs and a split shot I use 2 lb test no more than 6 lb and use different colors on your jigs to see which one they will eat better it makes a difference and sometimes the plain old minnow works better
