Tazstone and I teamed up to get 30. Trolled crankbaits before dark and caught 9 then got the rest after dark with minnows. We had quite a few big fish and some bonus white bass. Attachment 377701Attachment 377702Attachment 377703

Those are some nice ones. Did you catch the bigger ones trolling or with the light. Good night of fishing.
How do you fish with the light? I have a green LED light and haven’t had a lot of successes. Deep? Just under the water?Quote:

Look at your graph to see where the fish are....you can waste a lot of time dropping all the way to the bottom because usually the fish are suspended. We caught big fish both trolling and after dark.
Dumb question: So, with no standing timber to speak of on LOZ, how do you night fish? Anchor? Bridge piers? or find an isolated tree in the channel?

Most of the time the wind dies down pretty good to where you can drift or put the trolling motor on very low and basically stay in one spot. If you have spot lock that would be the way to go or you can anchor. Any docks that have brush you can just slow troll around them. Once crappie get around the light they will suspend outside the brush....I hardly ever fish deep enough to get hung up. It's really not any different than rigging but I just use two poles. You also need some buddies that own condos bc those can be killer.

Last year in the second week of September me and 6 buddies caught around 200 in 2-3 days on those condo docks. Sitting in about 30-40 feet of water suspended down 12-15 feet deep.Quote:
