1st Time Night Fishing

[bttmline]

Well the wife and I tried out our new underwater light tonight. Did not go as ecpected. We attracted very few minnows and did not catch a fish. Maybe a little practice and a couple hints from others will help. By no means will I give up. Heard too many stories of great night slabs.Tim:rolleyes:

usually i have better luck attracting minnows with lights that float on the water or even coleman lanters hanging out over the boat. the setup i use
has two lanterns and two of the floating lights occasionally i will drop one of the submersible lights and usually on the dark side of the boat. another thing is the type of minnows in your lake, shad or shiners are the minnows we usually draw into the lights sometimes we use one of those umbrella seins and draw it up around the minnows for bait

Great idea, That is what I call matching the hatch. Thanks for the input.
