I went several times during the summer, didn't have much luck though. I have one of the green lights to attract the bait fish, it worked very good. Just could not catch any crappie though, caught a lot of bar fish. I have a co-worker that did well on Caney last winter at night. They were fishing right off the bottom, single pole tightline with just a light in the boat. I will be giving that a try in January. Good luck.
