Has anyone ever tried it? Im camping here at Baker creek state park in Mccormick, SC. We have been tying up to the bridge at night with limited success. I have a spot I been catching 20 or so nice slabs in everyday casting jigs but the water is mostly less than 7 foot deep in the spot Im talking about. Has anyone ever fished this shallow at night with the lights out around the boat?
heck give it a try i have anchored 10 to 13 fow and did real good set your lines out at all depths and see what you get if you dont have ante luck look for a slopping bank say 5ft to 20ft anchor at the 20 ft depth drop your lights and get it dun. good luck looking froward to a good report.
same thing with rocks and gravel bottom for the black crappie
I agree with Jimmy. I have fished in 12' on a nightstalk and did very well. If you have no luck in the shallow water just back out to around the 25' depth. Hope you have a great catch while camping.Thumbs Up
I'd try fining water a little deeper than 7' that's closeby where youve been catching. Good luck and be sure to report how it goes.:)
During the spawn, I have caught fish in 3' fow at night but usually it was a good bite from sunset until about 10pm and then they would back out. Matter of fact one of the biggest fish I've ever caught was caught on a cork near a lighted dock in less than 3fow
i anchor in the deeper wate and either throw a lighted cork set about 18in deep or fish a down line or two two or three ft down. youd be suprised how many you will catch fishing shallow in the deeper water
