Night fishing in winter months question

**Slabby15** · 12-25-2015, 12:01 PM

The last few years I have buying stuff on clearance and on sale to start night fishing during the summer when it is so darn hot. I haven't went yet but I have almost everything I need. I still have a few things to get like anchors. I think i am going to use a three anchor system to hold my boat over the hump or trees I am going to fish. I was going to buy electric anchors for my boat but they wouldn't mount without a lot of trouble and money. I have bought all kinds of fancy lights to put in the water and over the water to light it up but I wonder if Coleman lanterns we used when I was young would work better. We caught a lot of fish using Coleman lanterns and they put off a lot of light. We should have a night fish get together sometime that would be fun. I am sure on Oconee there is an area that we could space our boats and fish close enough that we could talk and make fun of each other. LOL. Merry Christmas, Wes

Night fishing in the winter is as good as day fishing. You have to go and find the fish just like day time, I can see better in the day time, that is why I fish in the day. Today they have lights to hook to battery's lanterns you put wick on and gas , pump up and light. I have two or three of the battery type lights ,some of the old bridge and pylons are in water under the new bridge I have some friends still fish around the bridge. Earl we use to camp in a tent 2 or 3 day at crooked creek Bridge before a house was around.

Thanks Hobo, that was the response I have been looking for

A gold cart heater and some warm bibs and youre set for winter time night fishing. It might take you a few trips to find them as they do bunch up tighter during the cold months but when you do....MAN!
