    Default fishing under lights?


    Anyone ever crappie fish under floating lights. Maybe and idea what time of year works best. Will it work when the waters still cold. Only tried it once. Just wondering bout other fishermans experiance.

    This was in NC, but I just caught these last weekend under my light. It wasnt hot and heavy like April / May will be, but it was steady. Water temp was upper 40s/low 50s over 25 ft of water.

    went to a pier on the Chickahominy Saturday night. Caught about 15 or 20. most only about 8 or 9 inches. the bait was poppin off everywhere but not too many under my lights. had a clear sky with the full moon. most were caught on jigs in about six to eight feet of water.

    I have tried it, with poor results. I was doing it all wrong I am sure. But glad you did get some.

    I have heard it works better during a new moon. Darks nights put more bait into the artificial light.
