This is a very good point. I guess that’s a good project for me to start on. Thanks!

ive got them at different depths, from 15 to 30 FOW, very rewarding when they produce, one ive caught over 300 crappie on, its near a drop off to 30fow sitting in about 23fow, i night stalk it this time of year, fun stuff, never put the light deeper then 3 fow,

Now that’s what I’m looking for Thanks for the advice!

I use 1 9in green light, depends on the clarity of the water on how deep i put it, usually around 2 to 3 feet, you want to watch the show, lol an all the lights in the boat are off, your eyes will adjust, my head lamp has a red light option, thats all ya need to bait your hook, bugs will eat you up if ya keep your lights on, just be careful if theres another boat moving around you, flip the lights on so they know your there, if your in a cove no need to worry then, presentation is important too, i use one rod with a minnow, start out with your minnow just below the light, then with the bail kept open, release one round of line, wait about 3 to 5 sec then do it again, all the way to the bottom, then a very slow retrieve back up, its deadly on em, good fishing,

this is at the back of the boat and i had just as many up front

I use a similar tactic when vertical jigging, so this makes good sense. When their close, they can’t resist most of the time. If/when I try again, I’ll report back. Thanks again!

That’s funny. Is Illinois on the other side of the equator? the big swarm around my light was going counter clockwise.
