No but got to see Saturn at midnight, trailing behind the moon
crankbaits at night. treble hooks arn't very forgiving in the daylight much less in the dark but i don't see why it wouldn't work. you would just have to be real carefull unhooking fish.Quote:

I night fish sometimes but not trolling crank baits. I anchor down and drop a couple underwater green LED lights down and then fish shiners around the edge of the light ring.
So you think it better to drop the light in the water instead of hanging one over the water?Quote:

I was headed your way this morning Larto and at the last minute I changed plans and went back to the Red River in Koline. Sense I was a little early I figured I would try pulling the cranks in the dark and to my surprise it worked and was very productive. I kept 21 sac a lait had about 8 throw backs 4 of the bigest Goo i ever caught and a whole bunch of catfish and lost 3 crank baits to some garfish. The moon was over head and the black and purple, black/green tail and black/pink caught most of the fish till the sun came up then the shad patterns started producing better. The water in the oxbow was a lot clearer than in the lake. So YES it works now I'm gonna have to get up an hour earlier Monday morning to try for a repeat performance.
Go get them Skip
Wow. That’s what I wanted to hear thanks Skip I’ll try it now.Quote:
