How many of you guys do it? I ordered a light & am going to give it a try after i come up with a couple anchors. How many use either jigs or plastics when fishing this way? Any tips or suggestions for this style of fishing & i'm all ears.

I have used them when fishing minnows
Jack, i've saw videos with one guy fishing minnows & the other fishing jigs or plastics & they're both catching them pretty good. I figure it will be something else to give a whirl with me trying to learn about crappie.Quote:

Mostly dead sticking the jig or a small lift of only 6-8” then back down keeping a tight line when dropping it back down! And be sure to take a big can of off ! Skeeters really bad most nights !

I am with Slabprowler. At night it is multi pole fishing.
Don't forget the bug spray. Most of the time we tie off to bridges no need for an anchor.

I have done well with Coleman lanterns hanging from the bridge over the water. The bugs make a satisfying sizzle when they hit the hot lanternQuote:

The slip bobber makes it easier to cast out to the edge of the light and adjust your depth. 6 to 12 feet deep is normal.
