I did not get on the spot I wanted to fish until 9:30 PM. Put out the 4' green light, dropped 3 lines with minnows, first crappie didn't hit until around 11. Only caught 3 shorts until 3 AM, no shad around the light, so I headed to my slip at the marina. Started catching 8-9 inchers until around 6 before the slabs showed up. Had 3 big fish on that staightend my gold hook, probably flatheads, but did get an 8 pound channel in the live well. He got cleaned with the 7 keeper crappie and headed home by 11.
I'll be doing this night fishing again when I get caught up on my sleep because the temps at night are way cooler than the daytime temps.
Good luck guys.
