Thread: Night Fishing

I’ll chime in but no crappie expert here. At night I push 4 poles off the front, 2 each side. 1 on each side a jig and the other each side a minner. I slow way down like .5 or .6. Rely heavily on my electronics to keep in tune with what and where the fish are doing. I have a 4 foot light for the back of the boat and that’s all I run, shined over my shoulders perfect can see entire rods not just the tips. I have caught many quality fish at night since the rain has gone and temps went up.

I never thought about that! Great idea!! How many batteries do you have hooked up that light?

Everyplace is different, but here in central Florida, I anchor over deep grass year round and fish with between 8 and 12 crappie poles at different depths with live minnows. That is where the halogen lights come in by drawing in the bait fish. Once I find the depth they are hitting the most, I will adjust the bobbers on the other rods
