Night Stalking Shallow Water

[FIN]

I don't have a depth finder cause I fish shallow lakes and brakes. Some average 5' some 8' no holes or channels. There are trees scattered and clumps also lillies. Any ideas on how to night stalk the shallows?
Thanks

hmmm, never tried water that shallow. Gill nets would work nicely! lol

Never tried fishing in water that shallow at nite but if I did I'd put my lights out to draw the baitfish as usual and use floats on the rods set at a depth about half way to the bottom fanned out around the side of the boat in the edge of the light. Water that shallow might not mess the fish up but then again they may be shy of coming in close to the boat.

thanks for the replies fellows.

I like to fish for shallow crappies at night, but when I fish during the day I like to use a stealth bobber (perfect for shallow fishing). It hides the float very well so the fish don't see it especially ones that are spooked easily.
