I used to bow fish at night a lot. Bluegill were very inactive then.
I have never tried it, any tips?
Thanks

My dad and uncles caught the most fish on Kentucky Lake at night when I was a child in the late 1950s.

Although never try but it seems using night lights for crappie fishing would work, especially when they are spawning.

Here in ol Virginie I been takin brimmies on bait and flies bout 6 and a half decades. When the sun goes down the brims shut down completely and not seen again until next morning light. Oddly, they stop biting, in the evening, about the same time the Silvers (Crappie) start their sunset flurry. Many fish bite good at night, but not Brim.

I can't even seem to catch them early in the morning. I've gotten to where I don't even try to catch bream until after 9:00 in morning or so. Apparently they bite after dark, but I've never had much luck at all at dawn or dusk and so have never tried to fish for them in the dark for that reason.

I have been fishing for 50 years but I have never tried catching bream at night. Crappie and catfish yes, blue gills no. Come to think about it, I can't remember ever catching a bluegill at night.

There have been tons of articles written about the lack of bluegill to bite at night. While it is not to say you will never catch one at night it sure is not the time I would be targeting them. Over the many former years of night fishing I have done, catching bluegill was rare at night.

Under lights is the attraction.
Many moons ago I was working on a drilling rig in the marsh of South Louisiana.
The rig was far enough inland it was mostly fresh water. There were 1000s of blue gill and other fish that fed on bugs that were attracted to the lights, all night, every night. The fish were so thick it looked like you could walk across them.
