Finally got a chance to go night fishing and I didnt get the results I was looking for. First spot we set up in 15 fow near a ledge that went to 25 fow, after about 2 hours we saw very little bait and didnt get any bites. So we packed up and moved to a nearby brush pile in 17 fow, bait fish arrived in about 35 mins swarming the boat, but after another 2 hours still no bites. The wife got restless so we packed it all so I stayed out of the doghouse. Not sure what was the cause of no bites but I will just have to try again another time and try different spots. I enjoyed being out on the water with the ole lady and star gazing. It was a beautiful and bugless night to say the least. I appreciate everyone's input on getting me setup and started in night fishing. I guess Lake Jordan was just being finicky that night. Better luck next time. Tight lines.
Did you fish in the light or in the shadows just beyond the light? When I am fishing for crappie under lights I always fish just beyond the circle of light. I cast beyond the light and slowly bring it back to just outside the edge of the light.
