It was pretty darn slow until about 3:30am.. I don't know if the time had anything to do with it or if we just finally hit the right spot, but once we did we started reeling some in. I'm also a novice at nighttime fishing and didn't have a black light.. I now realize why one is so important.. We probably lost a good 10 to 15 fish because we couldn't see our line/bobber... But we did manage to reel in probably 15 to 20.. Of those we kept 8 very nice sized ones. We threw back a few that we probably could of kept but were a bit on the small size.. We didn't catch but maybe 1 or 2 fish after the sun came up. We were catching them on the north shoreline not too far from the ramp.. We also caught a couple in one of the coves on the south side but I don't know which one.. it was probably half to 3/4 of the way to main lake..
So we had a good time, learning the lake, learning nighttime fishing and I would say the crappie are biting for sure during the night.. Now at least I have a couple places to check. Will probably try again early saturday evening until a little while after dark with wife/kids, but not going to pull an all nighter.
