The only problem was no baitfish, we moved about 3 times, the light attracted all kinds of stuff, but no minnows. I need to find a better lake next time. Bob that light I got from you worked awesome, I'm thinking about another one. I also used the "noodle" to keep it out from the boat, it worked good.. Thanks...

You may have to wait up to an hour to get the crappie to show up.
Crappie tend to stack up just as huntinslabs has told you......they will be stacked up on top of each other, whereas other fish tend to be scattered . When I night fish I like to set up where I know I can attract some baitfish.......the green light attracts the baitfish and the baitfish attract the crappie. A good place to set up is in the mouth of a cove or just off of a point where the bottom drops off. I suspend my lights about 5 ft. deep.
What depth of water are you talking about say, just off a point? Girlfriend got an 11" one tonight, but they didn't seem to bite real good
