FishHound,
Are you using electronics to find the fish for each trip, or are you just going to a know spot that you have stumbled across in the past?
I am not wanting to know where you are fishing or your coordinates, I am more interested in the process that you use to find the fish.

If I can figure out the process of finding fish then, my wife and I can start to find our own fish.

When we night fish, my wife casts out a single hook with a minnow under a cork or bobber, depends on where you are from. I am trying to fish a double minnow rig from 9 foot Mr. Crappie fiberglass poles.

Our light is a DIY led light that I made. Green led on bottom and White led on top with Yellow turn signal lense tape on it to keep the bugs down.

Any information is appreciated.
