Crappie Fishing at Night with Lights

[@bigcatchfishingmississippi]

Hey, Carlos! Great video! Love the night time fishing and the editing is excellent, as usual. I enjoyed it, thanks!!

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Hey!! Yes sir, it’s been hard finding them during the day, so had to bring them to the boat. Now our lakes are flooded and ramps are closed. Thanks for dropping by, keep reeling in those huge ones!

🔥🌙🎣👍 Got some good 🌧 Lakes coming up.. You're going to be set for some great Summer night fishing!

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Yes sir! Overfilled already. Camping should be better too. I’m thinking a lot of new brush piles to hunt for. Thanks

great fishing!! we tried to go spotlock and put lights out at the northpoint marina on belton this evening but the lightning ran us off.

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

The weather is kind of crazy. I’m glad the water is up, and the North end is looking better. Hope you start a feeding frenzy! Thanks!

Great video. Was a good night of fishing

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Had a good time fishing with friends! Thanks

Carlos, great videos as always. I tried night fishing twice but can't find the right spot. Do you go to your spots and wait, or do you scan your area as daytime in other videos? Any suggestions on promising spots at night? Like bridge pilons, marina or regular brush piles? It's hard to navigate at night so I'd like to just go and fish.

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Thanks! Try depth first, 35 to 45ft deep. On Belton game fish are usually in that depth at night, even from a dock. I like to see about 5 fish grouped up a couple hundred feet from night lights on Livescooe before spotlock. Then light it up and make some noise. Move the boat around slowly and those fish will follow it while more fish get attracted to the boat. Hopefully once you catch a few, they turn on with all the fighting and splashing. It’s hit or miss and sometimes we have to try a few more areas. Boat ramps, marinas, even just random sandy bottoms work good. Tightlines!

Why did you stop using perspective and forward facing at the same time? Just curious because I’m fixing to rig mine up like that and was wondering if you ran into a problem since you no longer use them together

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Hello, Never had a problem running both at the same time. Most of the reason is fishing started getting more complicated running two graphs up front and two Livescopes. Perspective is a great tool and fun to use , so enjoy your setup. I just wanted to simplify again. 👍🏽

@@CarlosPadillaCentex thanks for the info

[@thepauldixonOC]

Nice vid, what green lights are you running?

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Seablaze X2 RGBW. They are full spectrum. Didn’t show it but I switched to pure white for about 10 min. and the fishing slowed down. Thanks!

[@elkbow]

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I was just going to ask you if you thought green or white was better. I used above water white lights last time and it wasn't very good.

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Try both. White to get the bait and fish interested fast. Then green when fishing, so they cant see the hooks or line. 👍🏽

[@elkbow]

@@CarlosPadillaCentex I'll try that

[@jeffhawkins900]

Good Stuff

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Thanks for stopping by, glad you liked it. Thanks!

[@elkbow]

Nice

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

Thanks buddy! Not too many shad showed up this time. Can’t wait to try some hotter nights.

[@elkbow]

@@CarlosPadillaCentex definitely, I'm looking for warm. But you have a lot more crappie showing up there. With all our shad in the lake now. The white bass are big. I'm catching a bunch of 3lb white bass..

[@CarlosPadillaCentex]

That sounds fun! 3 pounders gotta fight hard!
