Night Fishing for crappie should be banned

[caseydrew]

This person isn't even worth responding to.........just let this thread die as they obviously are just wanting to pick a fight. What a joke.

I've got a son that's 26 and he's been crappie fish'n longer than that and he busted out laughing when he read this post. :D You are kidding right? I Hope?

Someone posted that the day fishermen were probably 100 to 1 over the night stalkers. I would venture that it would probably be closer to 500 to 1.

I personally know people that go night fishing that get skunked just like I do sometimes during the day.

I would have to see some type of scientific data that would backup this theory. :rolleyes:

Hope I haven't offened you and welcome to our little family.

P.S. I hope you don't Coon hunt too!
:D

Ouch! Wait till he hears that I jugfish for crappie! Limit is a limit no matter what "legal" way you take fish. It's the ones who take home more than the legal limit that you should be sore at. Peace to you and welcome.

We don't actually use the lights to "draw baitfish in".

It's actually quite simple, light starts a natural food chain reaction by attracting a concentration of small microscopic animals called plankton. Bait fish such as shad and minnows are drawn to the light to feed on the plankton; and larger game fish move in to feed on the bait fish.

So you see it's the plankton that is drawn ever so closer to our lights... :D

Welcome by the way!

I fish night and day both and I work just as hard to find them at night as in the day. Where I fish (Lake Cumberland) you can't fish during the day for the tourist running up and down the lake. I don't know where you're from but around here 45 fish a day is illegal any way and I think that's too many for one person. Welcome to the site.

I love fishing at night. I must be evil.

i work at night so i fish at night and if so easy i want to know the secret i have been out and not catch fish

[fish-wva]

so i guess the guys like me that work midnight shift, and fish at night because of it should sell all thier equipment and give up fishing? I DON'T THINK SO. by the way i dont keep anything under 10 inches and bring home only about 10 fish per night. i dont see why you feel the need to pick on people who dont get to fish mutch at all and can only go at night. i thought all of us on this fourm were friends and the use of this fourm was to help people become better fishermen, not to single out people and drag them through the mud!!!!

This guy really knows how to make friends and influence people dont he? lol What a joke. Im sure glad he isnt managing our fisheries.

I personally like to fish for crappie at night. I don't put a light in the water, since I'm to cheap to buy one that I could put in there, but I do catch a nice mess usually. Only problem with that is besides being cheap, I'm also lazy and don't like to clean fish. Therefore, 99% of the fish I catch just go back into the water. My view is keep what you'll eat and eat what you keep.
