I'm the worst night stalker in Arkansas...
So far...not so good.
Last night I spent about 3.5 hours on the lake without boating a crappie. I set up on a bridge piling in 28 feet of water, with additional man-made structure all around adjacent to the river channel. I had one sub white light that I tried from 15' to at the top. I had so much bait fish funneling that I think I could have just snagged bait with a naked hook and then just lowered it a bit, but all I caught was one white bass and a bream. I had three poles set out, one shallow, medium and almost on the bottom. I caught the white on top and the bream about a foot off the bottom. Spending the night from 9:00 til 12:30 alone on the lake isn't the worst thing in the world, and I enjoyed the excitement of wondering if at any minute they were gonna start tearin it up...but it didn't happen. I don't know why. I'm gonna give it a day or so and then I am gonna try it again on a steep bluff off of a main lake point in about 25' of water. Maybe I will do better.
