night fishing

Have any of you tried fall or winter night fishing under lights?

I have in fl I never did any good but my friend has he likes it im not impressed

I don't do nights , only days . :biggrin

Never tried night fishing for crappie myself. Seems like its more popular in the heat of summer. I'm early to bed an early to rise myself. Night fishing would be to hard on me anyway!

seems like too much work and too many bugs for me. I fish to enjoy, not for punishment :dono

I stay to dark 30, but I going home before to late

Night fishing can be very productive if you go at the right time and use the right lighting.

Saw a cooler full on Toledo bend one morning that would sure tempt most folks to try it.. was in the Sammy Gill marina going bass fishing and a couple of guys were buying a couple of bags of ice. I asked if they had already caught them and they said they had fished the previous night. I asked if they caught any and they said 165. I asked if there was any size to them and they said you look and tell us what I thought. They opened 2 72 qt. coolers stacked full of slab crappie. all looked like twins and 13-14 inches long. I was crappie fishing the next night. only 48 but at the time was my best stringer. they put me on them. Creek c hannel came up to a ledge at 17 feet. It was about 4 ft wide and then came up to 14 ft. I would catch 3 or so and ten minutes later 3 more. My partner froze out and we had to come in about 11. Days before thinsulate and such.

had best fishing this year at night in Jan-Feb

Thats ice from the splashing of those slabs i can do better in the cold than the heat
