A friend of mine recommended that I try doing some night fishing with lights during this time of year when its cold out. He said the crappie will come into the shallows and to only fish about 2 ft deep with minnows and lights on the water.. I haven't tried it yet but I was wondering if anyone else has had any success night fishing in shallow water when the water is cold out?? My dock is only about 12 ft and the crappie don't seem to be in that shallow yet so I was skeptical on if it would work or not.. ??
