Night Light?

[Alphahawk]

I have a question : can someone tell me what is the purpose of putting lights down so deep

Most all of the night fishing w/lights, that I've ever done, has been with lights either above the surface, on the surface, or slightly below it. They've all worked to draw in the baitfish, and eventually the Crappie ... so I'm just curious as to why putting the lights down to depths that I've hardly ever even put a minnow or jig is going to make the situation any better.

I'm with you....I don't know why folks drop them so deep. I have fished Dale Hollow at night many times and we just would hang the Colemans over the side for years. Now it is much more convenient to use the Hydra Glow or something similar and just drop them down a couple of feet. Fishing in 100 feet of water and even though water temps are in the high 80's even the trout will come up to surface for the bait.
