Lights for winter fishin?
Gotta complex situation here.
Just wanted to know how many of you used lights at night during winter with success.
One of the lakes I regularly fish (Truman) has gotten outta control..it's 15 ft high and MUDDY. Forget that one.
The other, Stockton, is about 10' high, water temp around 42 and clear. Clear being about 7' visibility I suppose. All the winter cover has gotten DEEP because of the lake level. Now, cover that was 20' deep (a key depth here) is obviously 30' deep.
Yes, I imagine the fish are still in those 30' depths to a degree or suspended over the cover, I know this cause I caught some scattered fish 30-40 ft deep the other day. But my question is;
Do you suppose I could take a light out on these winter fish in cold water and get them to come up and bite? My first stop, if so, would prolly be a bridge pillar or two cause it's easy to stay on them at night.
Whadda ya think?
