Night Fishing Crappie: Tips And Technique
Old School Crappie Fishing Family Secrets
Little known to most crappie fisherman crappie are very active at night,and if you have good underwater fishing lights a night fishing trip for crappie can be quite amazing.Underwater fishing technology has been around for a few years, and anybody who goes night fishing for crappie on a regular basis understands the importance of these lights.Underwater fishing lights plain and simple attract bait fish, and we all know that bait fish attract the crappie. You will increase your catch 10 fold by using these lights so you can have a very productive night fishing for crappie outing.
You will catch more crappie at night when it’s really hot outside. The temperature of the water regulates the body heat of the crappie, remember crappies are cold blooded. The crappie doesn’t have a internal cooling system like we do and as result they are not active when it’s hot outside, but when the water cools at night the crappie are on the move feeding.
Now I am going to recommend something that could be a bit uncomfortable. Purchase at least two incandescent lights that have a clip or clamp attached (to clamp on the side of the boat) and have some type of shade that will project the light. The light and the heat will attract thousands of bugs, and you guessed it bait fish! Make sure you bring plenty of insect repellent you will need it. The little fish swarming and concentrated in one area are called the “bait ball” Don’t fish directly in the bait ball fish along the outside perimeter of the light, there is less competition out there and most likely the crappie will be there too. If live minnows don’t work use a jig, it will stand out.
Submerge your light source directly in the center of the Illumination area. You will still need to do your research about being at the right place to catch your limit of crappie, but if you ad a underwater light source you will increase your crappie catch dramatically.
Crappie have a distinct advantage over the bait fish at night because of their keen color vision at night. Most bait fish cannot detect color at night and do not move or react as quickly as the crappie or other game fish can at night. The crappie can wait patiently and attack the bait fish and feed at will because the bait fish cannot react quickly enough the escape from the crappie. It has been known for sometime that fish , shrimp, and insects are attracted to light at night , but you probably are asking yourself what color is best at night? The answer to this question is the color blue or green because they attract both insects and the crappie.
Incandescent lights can be purchased for under 50$ The best lights will have a clip to mount the lights and the end of the wires will need to have banana clips to mount to a battery. The best place to buy them online is Cabella’s.
In conclusion, do your home work when purchasing a submerged night crappie fishing light Remember cheaper is not always better. Well That raps up my article GOOD LUCK ! and good fishing!
