Who else likes to night fish for Crappie?

We really like to night fish when it's hot.

That’s exactly why I was asking. Going in a bit now that it’s cooled off.Quote:

Because of my work schedule, I fish so much at night that I almost don’t remember how to fish in daylight. LOL

You guys do any good around docks at night?

My lake doesn’t have any private docks, only floating style at the ramps and marina. Both can be pretty active at times

My opinion night fishing is better the wind isn't blowing as much waves are calm dont have to worry about 80 boats running around by ya

Hey guys, I’m thinking about doing a little night time spider rigging, and am wanting any tips you can give. I don’t have any lights, and one question is would a light in the water work better than a light at the front of the boat? I’m not wanting to light up the whole lake, but am wanting enough to be able to see my rod tips.

I only fish at night, for several reasons. The temperature, the wind and a lot better quality bite due to my lake being so clearQuote:

I’ll chime in but no crappie expert here. At night I push 4 poles off the front, 2 each side. 1 on each side a jig and the other each side a minner. I slow way down like .5 or .6. Rely heavily on my electronics to keep in tune with what and where the fish are doing. I have a 4 foot light for the back of the boat and that’s all I run, shined over my shoulders perfect can see entire rods not just the tips. I have caught many quality fish at night since the rain has gone and temps went up.

My boat is set up with 3 household halogen spotlights on each side run by my Honda 2200 generator. Keeps the batteries charged and powers the lightsQuote:

Everyplace is different, but here in central Florida, I anchor over deep grass year round and fish with between 8 and 12 crappie poles at different depths with live minnows. That is where the halogen lights come in by drawing in the bait fish. Once I find the depth they are hitting the most, I will adjust the bobbers on the other rodsQuote:

I just run the standard 12 volt battery that powers the back light. Electronics on a battery by themselves. I haven’t anchored to fish in many moons. I get bored quick. If I keep trolling and pushin I can fish forever. I have done very well the last 2 weeks at Tville at night. Quality fish.

So your catching them suspended, Not targeting brush piles or anything? Also No light in or on the water? I plan to go out tonight and have always tied up and fished one spot but like you I get bored.Quote:

The only change I make between fishing dark or fishing daylight is my speed. I push jigs and minners either way. I target an “area “. I know everything about that area that I have chosen. If I find fish holding on something as I go along I just circle back thru it. May do that for hours or maybe just once. If your running electronics let that give you the depth you need to fish. I don’t use lights in the water. But, you can use the same approach bobber fishing just use trolling motor instead of anchor. Safety is the main focus fishing at night so we should always know the lake and know the area I fished ky lake 2 nights last week and there were enough boats overnight to hold a regatta. You just have to slow down and approach things a little different after dark. I never caught the first crappie last week until after 11. So be prepared to wait it out a little while. If you go I wish you luck. What lake you gonna try.

I’ve done very well out of chowning ln this year. It’s a really tricky fish trip at night. Good luck to you.

I use an LED truck fog light mounted to my rod holder turned out just enough to see my poles good,I rarely anchor down and I also use one pole in hand with a jig that I cast and vertical jig as well as my spider rigged poles(usually 4 of those)
