Default Night fishing for crappie

I am new here and wanted to say hi. Anyone ever fish Summit Lake or Prairie Creek Reservoir at night for Crappie. Where is a good place too fish for crappie on these lakes? I am thinking about taking my nephew out this weekend and would really like for him to catch some. We went to Summit about a month ago and caught a couple of bass and a perch before sundown then nothing the rest of the night. I used a submersible light. I am new to nigh time crappie fishing. I have always fished for cats at night. Thanks Doug

At Summit, I would try right out front of the campground cove on the row of trees that seperate the cove from the main lake (14 fow), and if you don't get any there move back into the cove , off the weed edge in (10 fow) right were the cove splits. If its calm, out by the big island, you can chase crappie, as you will actually see them hitting the shad balls near the surface and you cast right into them with a glow tubes.

Praire Creek, is better for crappie, especially at night. If your at PC bait shop, the cove that you can see from there, looking toward the camping area, right off the break (about 35 yards from shore) (17 fow) in the front of the cove.

Good luck, to you and your nephew.

Thanks for the info.I think we are going to try Prairie Creek Reservoir. I have never fished there before. Do you by chance know the address of the bait shop or where it is located on the lake. Thanks Doug
