Night fishing for Crappie?
Anyone tryed? reason I asked is Saturday I got done working at a decent hour, wife was all napped up, and all I could think about is some u tube vidoes I watched this Winter of guys fishing with a submersable lights. So we loaded up the boat stopped by BPS bought a $50 green led submersable light and a decent flashlight and headed to a lake that I fish often. Got on the lake around 8:00pm caught plenty of dinks casting Bobby garland plastics, wife was fishing minnows under a bobber and doing ok. Once the sun started setting I anchored down in 12-15ft of water, dropped the light around 6ft down it looked real cool kind of erie too. Well I remember reading its best to let the light sit for awhile so the minnows and bait fish have time to come, with hopes of the predator fish to follow. Well 3 hours later and we didnt catch a single fish off the light, tryed dropping Bobby garland stuff and minnows to the bottom and SLOWLY bringing the bait up, stopping periodically waiting for the crappie to take a bite, but nothing, even tryed some plastics for bass but no go. We did catch 3 crappie casting and on minnows under a bobber, but that was it. My guess is that there was some kinda Memorial day fish party on the other side of the lake and we wernt invited!
