    Default Bridge bite/sunlight


    It seems that a usual clear day starts with a strong bite until 10ish when the sun gets up good and takes the shade away. It's like flipping the switch off on the crappie bite.I feel like they just move but can never seem to get back on them. Any tips for clear days when the sun takes away the bite? I fish around bridges mostly in a boat.

    They do that on clear lakes a lot. Go with low vis light line. They are probably still there just line shy or float shy . Down size everything and if that doesn't work go shoot docks lol

    What's already been said is spot on. Tie on a 5 or 6' clear leader and go as light and small as you can cast and slow down. I've had it happen to me too, the smaller baits help keep me busy.
    Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
