do you leave your electronics on the whole time during your nightstalk fishing ??? and yes there is a reason I ask this question ???Quote:

when I fished at night I learned that the electronics sometimes slowed the bite down, so I started turning them off and my catch ratio went up !!! but I would do like you did turn it on to see what happening every once in awhile and back off during the night !!!
I always left mine on and always watched it too. If the fish moved up in the column after a couple hours I'd want to adjust my hooks accordingly.
Like Butch I would leave mine on also. Sometimes the bait would be from the top to the bottom and those times I could have turned it off but never did. I do know that the transducer will make a sound and understand the reason of turning it off.
I never noticed the sound bothered crappies. I know it don't stop white perch, it may increase the bite some times. LOL
If at night it bother's them, then why in day time does it not matter, plus the motor running when holding over them to fish aggressively?:scratchhead
during the day I don't sit I one spot and down rod bait !!! I am either longlining or spider rigging which both techniques the boat is moving and not stationary !!!! each to their own !!!Quote:
