Does anyone night fish? i wanna learn more about it? any help appreciated
I bought a led fishing light to try and night fish but haven't used it yet.
I had a friend who night fished a public pier on the Ross Barnett reservoir in Jackson, Miss.......just hung the light low, close to the water and caught plenty crappie.....
I go a few times per year at a local lake. We tie up to trees on the edge of a creek in about 18' of water. Use a lantern hanging over the boat. We catch a few, but never a limit out type thing.
I used to night fish on Caney Lake near the dam this time of year. I had a bright spotlight I could clip to the batteries and attach it to the boat so it would shine straight down. The water is about 30 feet deep, and the fish were suspended at about 28 feet. I did real well a few times but only on shiners. Just be careful not to drain your batteries dead like I did one night.
Skip does a lot of night fishing on Toledo Bend and has some serious lights for it. He'll know.
I have night fished on Toledo Bend on the channel and caught fish real deep and have caught lots of fish.
I have night fished on Turkey Creek and did good also. Totally different from Toledo due to the depth of the water.
I have fished docks at Darbonne and had good and bad nights.
Fished the outside of the lights in about 10 feet of water at Turkey Creek and Darbonne. Toledo you are fishing way down there kinda like Claiborne. Jim
Are there any docks on darbonne that have underwater lights or did you bring your own?Quote:

Now days the big thing is putting submersed green lights around piers. They will come on at dusk and run all night, you can see the glow, the fishing is usually ok around the established lights.
Hey, Big John, me and my wife have been catching a few around the night-lights on Claiborne. We usually leave home around dusk and are back home by 11 and have been blessed by bringing home a mess of fish each time. Catching them out away from the light, not directly under them; sort of hanging out in the shadows. Been catching them on chartreuse heads using a licorice/chartreuse body. Fishing about 11 feet deep. The water depth varies around each light.
