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.

I’m a multi pole guy back when I used to fish at night with a light I’d have a minnow pole or 2-3 with just a hook and Minnow hooked thru the eyeballs swimming around about 7- 12’ down and would just lay them on the side of the boat and keep a jig rod in my hand sometimes they wanted one or the other sometimes both ! 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 use a submersible one from time to time. For sure brings in the baitfish and then the Crappies etc. Seems to work for me but be patient as sometimes it takes a bit to draw em in.

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.
