    Default Nightime crappie fishing


    Would anyone be interested in sharing your knowledge on crappie fishing at night? Where do you set up typically? What kind of lights do you use? How long do you stay on a spot before you pull up and change locations? Thanks for the info.

    CrappieHound the lake i fish has several bridges on it they always produces good.Also this lake has alot of standing timber sometimes I tie off to the trees this also does well too.I also use the cheap floating lights.I tie up and just wait till the fish start bitting fish till they quit and then go home.Once you set up and locate the fish You will love it no jet skis or fast boats just quite and peaceful i night fish year round.Good luck

    Thanks Crappie Fisher. Do you need to set up lights around the bridge pilings or are the fish just naturally moving in and around the structure to feed?

    I have been using Q-beam submersibles. They work great. The larger ones, 21", only have a .6 amp per hour draw. They will run all night on a decent size feeder motor battery. I use a 7+ AmpHour battery per light and it will run all night.

    Default Yep thats it.

    I saw tyhe same setup on infisherman. one Submersable/floating light and a few clip-on painters lights and wow you will be in heaven. The rule of thumb is 30 min waiting for fish to arrive. If no fish then you move. But its probaly more important to scout before you go and not be blindly running around in the dark. You will catch all kind of stuff, trout, cats, crappie. I used to loveing jiggin my lure right in the light and watching the flash of a crappie engulf it. You supposidly catch the bigger fish out away from the sub.float lights.
