what depth would you guys set your jugs on this lake and what bait for flathead? Also, what depth would you set up on when using lights off the side of the boat for crappie..New to night fishing and I'm going tomorrow so just need a little guidance...thanks guys for any info you can share..
Small bream, slicks, or gold fish make good flat head bait. I've never fished over lights, so I can't offer any suggestions. Hope you catch a bunch.
Not sure about there .But when fishing live bait on noodles here we set lines 6 to 9' long on noddles with no weight. Those Flatheads are great fish and just remember to not horse a biggun. We use atleast 5/0 stainless steel hooks on 150 to 200# test braided line on our sets.
What do you mean don't horse a big one???LOL Sounds dangerous...My noodles are set at 10' and i'm not going to use a weight either...
They been doing pretty on charles with noodles and limblines,if you set limblines with bream set them where the back fin sticks out of the water.
Beefed up, in the fishing section at arkansashunting.net I started a thread on night fishing over lights.. Should be on the first or 2nd page... Lots of good info there.
Don't know if I'm allowed to direct to other forums, but I see them direct people here quite a bit...
one trick we always used was using coleman lanterns , put a piece of tin foil 1/2 way around the globe as a shield away from the boat (you are in the shade) and another is to remove the globe on these type lanterns. W ith the globe removed is an instant inferno to any and all flying bugs ........zap, they hit the torch, melt and fall into the water .........a feeding frenzy is on the way .....ps, bring an xtra mantle or two for when a june bug hits !! this really works .........
