I met a guy coming out of Grenada this morning from La. and told me he did a lot of spyder rigging down there at night. He had 2 looked like LED light bars on the front of his boat to see the rod tips.
Anyone tried that on the big 4?

Years ago I did a lot of it off the bridges during the summer. The key was no wind so the lights could bring in the bugs, thus the bait fish and slabs under them.

Have talked about it often but never tried it, have fished at Kemper at night some with limited success
Did you ask if he caught any? I don't think any of the big 4 would be good night fishing, because it's not clear enough. SomeQuote:

He said he fished a lake I think started with a D but that's all I know.
I have bass fished them at night with pretty good success but never crappie fished them at night.
Done the same on Grenada and Sardis years agoQuote:

Is lake safe from speeding bass boats in the dark?
I hear green lights are now the thing, used to be Coleman Lanterns.
I did search in forum, founds hits but nothing that seemed current.
Thanks
Would need to be dressed like a dang beekeeper cause the bugs be my guess, they are bad enough during the day. I doubt you will find very many fishermen out there at night other than the occasional bow-fishing boat. Think most night fishing guys launch at the ramps before sundown and get setup before dark, as far as ramps being safe that's anyone's guess, heck they break into cars in broad daylight. Rules, I think all your required to have is a red/green light that is visible up to two miles, some other rules may apply, I would check with the COE or MDWFP. As far as bass boats, who knows those guys could pop up out of now where and if they now a man is trying to crappie fish then a few would get ginned up to make sure they ruin your night. :Rofl All you can do is go give it a try.Quote:
