Lynn cook and bobbyJ told me about doing these kind of lights. I like them alot. For about 14-15 bucks you got a light. You have to get a 12v bulb in the camping section and screw it into the clamp on light. Cut the cord and put alligator clips on and plug to battery. A light per person. All from wallmart. I think sometimes too much light scatter the fish out and they stay in the shadows waiting. Just my .02 but I already know what y'all think about my opinion anyway. Hahaha.

I agree Mac, if it ain't submersible, I ain't using it. No bugs makes for a much more enjoyable trip. I use Brinkman starfires, front. middle, & back of boat. Set them about 1 foot deep. Never used the green lights, but i have heard lots of positive reports with them.

I've tried about everything when it comes to a light. I wouldn't use anything but a submersible light. I wouldn't use anymore than a single light on a pole about 8 to 10 feet from the boat. That way you really fish around the entire light. Sometimes just a couple feet will make a difference. I use the green cheap bass pro submersible lights. A single light seems to cause the shad to circle better and not end up running from light to light.

It has been my experience, the best place to place your bait at the edge of the light ring. Where the light and darkness meet. I hope this will help out.

A little different question. Do you fish the same places at night with a light as you do during the day? Do you anchor or do you ever drift with the light?
Thanks

Bugs draw minnows, minnows draw crappie, place them low to water over side of boat where you can see your lines and/or rod tips, keeps most bugs out of boat to fall in water. I have green and white submersible but catch more and bigger fish on reflector lights, or a gas lantern hanging with bottom just in the water to slow down sway. this works good also.

I try not eat bugs. Bugs can't hurt the fishing but its not bugs that real draw the shad or minnows. It's the zooplankton/plankton that attract the bait fish. These exist in the water column and if you've got a bright light, you can really see them swarming in the water and the shad chasing them. The light attracts the plankton. Shad eat plankton. Crappie eat shad. I tend to believe the crappie usually feed best between 10 to 14 feet below the top of the water under a light. You'll see a little fish run through the shad ever once and a while but most of the fish tend to feed at the both of the shad ball.
