Bestfriend: your right fishing at night is different you have to keep it simple and have your boat set up so you do not need to move around a lot. Jordan is too far for to drive also we should try to set up a nightstalk on Tillery.

Ppowell: I agree with hockey86 you should be setting up for crappie fishing at night the same places you would during the day. This time of year it will be deep water (25/30 feet) If the fish are biting I will catch them most of the time before I get a lot of minnows around the light. The light just keeps them hanging around.

polecat27330: I have looked at lights in the stores but I like to make my. I tell myself I can do it cheaper but that is not always the case but I enjoy it.
Here's a great light we made to use with our green ones we made also it has 300 UV light on each end and 600 bright white ones on a remote control in the middle. Its about 5' long and suction cups hold it to the side of boat the UV's draw less bugs and you can turn the white one on as needed we use florescent line it works great you can build better lights than you can buy. I know!!!!!
Fish don't care how much you spent on your boat!!
Walmart and other places sell a clip on reflector light fixture, buy two or three, make a 12 volt drop cord what ever length you need by cutting plug and putting on battery clips, then put 12 volt light bulbs in instead of 120, they are in the camper section, and they work well, you can get several for what one of the others cost. I personally think a gas lantern just off the water works best of all and i have all the white, green etc lights. The clip ons are less trouble
I PRACTICE CATCH & FRY---WHEN I CAN FISH AND CATCH:D
