    Be patient..... Most times it will take 45 minutes to an hour for the fish to respond to your lights....and be prepared for a very soft bite. Good luck and give us a report

    I experimented all of last summer with night lights. I've got two greens and one white light. I do the best on Stockton lake it seems to me. Its the most clear lake so maybe that has something to do with it. While waiting on the crappie to gather around your light I recommend throwing out some poles rigged for cat fishing because it could take a while just like what ol snake dodger said above.

    I just bought one of them berkley underwater green lights and tried it out yesterday. No luck but not sure I was out there long enough. The light penetration on the light is about 2-3' so I had a nice 6' diameter glow going.
