Headed to the big G to camp out for the long weekend. Any suggestions on night fishing the bridges? Haven't been up there since spring crappie fishing and thinking about going to Town/South Sauty at night. Any times that seems to be best? Got a 5 year old that I'd like to tight line a few minnows with if I can keep him awake!
Thanks All Tight LINES
Caught some at short creek first of week between midnight and three o’clock

They always under the bridges you just have to finger out how deep they r and what they want. sometimes they be 2’ then sometimes the r 25-30’ sometimes a minnow sometimes a jig ! Good luck and be safe!
I believe you got it figured out Mitch
One more question. Lights or no lights? I put the bright green led lights all the way around my boat. Should I use those? I've had luck in the past on the coosa, but at the big G at night I've never had luck under them?
You fishing from a boat or from the bank?
Fur , me, you and Mitch need to go bridge fishing one night. We would get some good philosophizing done
Say when....Quote:

I'll be in a boat tonight. We r going to try short creek. We r staying at mountain lake resort. Anyone tried town creek latley?
If you go to TC, drop down 10-12 ft with a minnow. Hang on!
I wish I could get out there. I haven't been in a while. I only know 3 people with boats and well, they say it's too hot ...
But I used to have great success at 10-12 ft. At first light, come 6-8 ft and also start jigging!!
You have a fish finder?
I drove through there about 8:30 last night and there was nobody fishing the bridge. Not a good sign if catching crappie is on your to do list. There are a LOT of minnows further up in the creeks. You might try fishing with a light close to a grass edge up in the creekQuote:

I was there last night gars and stripe everywhere .. Stripe would hit the jigs on the fall.. Caught 8 crappie all short..when u drive around guntersville and u don't see a single car at a few of bridges thats a sign...last year around this time me and my buddies was wearing them out..
We tried Short Creek from about 1230 to 300 Friday night/Sat Morning. Caught 1 crappie that was 14 inches. Tons of Stripe, 1 Drum (that was a fight). Overall it stunk but we had a good time trying. Can't catch them from the couch, but maybe we should have stayed in the bed (hindsight) hahahaha. Thanks for the replies. We did see a boat under TC maybe they were catching um?
You went fishing, and took your son, so it was a win/win. He don't care what you catch. He just wants to spend time with daddy and catching fish is a bonus! Glad you got to go.
Y'all ain't giving them white bass any love. They eat pretty dang good too. Especially from cold water
Anyone having any luck at night? Thinking about going tonight. 3 days before new moon.....
