7:47 I love how it’s all googan baits, but then there’s just those 2 zoom baits that stick out like a sore thumb.

[@QuestionableContent411]

Night fishing for Crappie over lights is my jam. If you find a good spot you can fill a cooler in a couple of hours. Your lights need to be in the water a while to get a good bait fish build up. I would cast into the dark and reel toward the light. From there you can get an idea for where the larger fish are holding. They tend to hang out in the shadows and dart in for the smaller fish in the light. I also will fish just off of where there is already some light, or deep structure I know they hang out in. If you get your light in early enough you can out compete the dock lights. From the bank works too, but not as well IMO. We catch catfish and bass using this method too, but nothing really to write home about.

[@calvinh.8882]

We do a lot of Crappie fishing at night. But we keep the lights just above the water, and we have our best luck up in cuts like little canals that run off the lakes. I'm thinking they may be going up into the canals to feed at night. And yes, find a cut/canal that's around 6 to 8 feet deep, and fish from the bank and hang a light on a pole just above the water as far out as you can get it. We take a 10 foot piece of PVC and hang a light on the end of it, and we take a piece of metal pipe the PVC will fit in, and we drive the metal pipe at an angle into the bank and stick the PVC in it so that the light is about a foot off the water. We use the same 10ft PVC to hang the light 10ft off the side of the boat. It works great for catching MONDO Crappie at night!

[@scottleggejr]

There's folks by me who do this with these HARDCORE pontoon setups. They chum and lights out of the water like you're saying and have 8 people up on the bow of the boat and it looks like they're basically just snagging monsters til they limit out and head in. It's crazy. Same thing with Stripers and lights. They just swarm in massive feeding frenzy circles.

[@calvinh.8882]

@@scottleggejr I've seen some guys with a set-up like that before, and it was kinda cool. They weren't using rod and reels, they were using like 12ft carbon fiber, telescopic fishing poles, and just kept flipping Crappie after Crappie onto the boat.

[@scottleggejr]

@@calvinh.8882 Yea tenkara rods but heavier than normal.

[@fish-on1679]

Dude you got a video of a set up? Sounds awesome

[@calvinh.8882]

@@fish-on1679 No, we never video. But it's easy, just hang a light right at the top of the water.

[@MrJaxnbeFishing]

Awesome video! Thanx for this✊🏾

[@lifewithjonathan5277]

I use lights like that when I go catfishing and carp fishing. Works awesome!

[@tannerwarren5704]

Justin hitting the ceiling again and again had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂

[@nathansmithwlfd]

I’d love to see the catfish fishing with the lights! Love the channel man! Always classic videos and phenomenal content!

[@dustinwalden7091]

Got one of those lights at academy about a month ago to go catfishing. Wound up with a 2 lb crappie. It definitely attracted bait fish and gills to the surface.

[@kentkelly5301]

I think for a million subscribers you need to take one of them on a fishing trip on Lake Fork!

[@tylerwood7719]

Bump

[@nonameneededsailing]

I finally got my lady hooked up on you guys. We look up to y’all, wish you and the family all the best.

[@highrevS2k]

Been using lights for crappie fishing for a while. It’ll draw in the plankton and shad. I usually use them around timber in about 35-45 feet of water. Use a small cast net or umbrella net to catch those shad. Hook a few on a aberdeen hook or tip a jig and you’ll catch them quicker than store bought minnows. I’ve had luck just using sassy shad with crappie niblets too. Night fishing is the way to do it during the Texas summers.

[@skryptto6289]

Fishing!!!!! Fishing!!!!! Fishing!!!!!!! Thats why we love you!

[@rockyriveroutdoors]

We had the fish vector light quite a few years ago. Used to drop it down in the pass between lake pontchartrain and lake borgne for speckled trout and whatever else would grab the bait. Good video to!

[@BuckcreekTV]

I do a lot of pier fishing on lights. The longer you have a light in a single location the better the fishing will become over time. A dusk to dawn is a great option.

[@heavensengdara1216]

Loving the videos! Golden crispi king 👑

I’m getting those new baits in Friday I’m ready to use them

[@duanescharneck168]

Really enjoyed this video I love the bass fishing but it was great to watch something a little different and new. Would definitely like to watch you do another night time light fishing video again 10/10

[@fishinguy7536]

Man, I'm either going to have to move to Texas, or get a place to stay there. I'm super envious about all the things you guys get to do that are against the law here in MN. No lights...no dropping structure (christmas trees/pvc "trees")...no jug lines...no unattended lines of any kind...no using panfish for for bait...cut or whole. I love MN with all my heart...but we have some serious regulations here. God Bless and keep posting the awesome content...and lets all help LFG crush 1,000, 000. Tell everyone u know this channel is where it's at!

[@carlywilke8904]

Was out fishing in Northern MN this last weekend and caught a few bigger black crappies. Was just suggested your video and love it! Was the first time I'd seen the white crappies and never knew about the light attraction! Way cool. Subscribed! Hope you get a million!

[@roberthoffhines5419]

Whoa! Those birds make some beautiful eggs. And if they stop producing, I see some premium wet flies!

[@DeltaRogueFishing]

Lake Fork Guy, keep the great videos coming! I've actually got footage of an underwater green LED light that i built and need to produce into a video so i can upload to my fishing channel. Keep doin what you do!

[@coopaloop9560]

L.F.G. Your channel is easily the Premier fishing channel on the ole tubes! 1 million by winter for sure. Big prayers and love to the Rackleys!

[@ahmedsadeeq74]

Outstanding light, my best buy yet. Had bait fish all over the place. I love it

[@joeysmith5685]

A lot of those docks have Christmas trees hanging from them, and we’re in from they get stacked in them. You can see the strings hanging from the docks

On Lake lewisville, we used to use lights around the bridge abuttments for crappie in the summer and fall.

[@kadeschilling3813]

[@boosalith2246]

I've been using these type of lights for 2 years and they absolutely work from the bank

[@williamdobie5710]

Reminds me of summer nights at Lake Mathis on the main floating pier in the state park. My dad, little brother and my self and a huge bucket of minnows. Fishing the S. Texas summer nights under the lights because it was too hot to fish during the day. Simpler times.....

[@cg9417]

I've always fished the edge of the light. The bait comes to the light and the predators sit at the edge in the shadows waiting for an easy meal. Works around docks at night in Florida saltwater. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheFinisher1215]

I got hooked on the light method too. Yes sir it works. I found best in about 4 feet of water. Good luck

[@clearwaterfishing]

4ft? That shallow? I’m definitely wanting to try it.

[@buck3404]

Million subs Fresh water grand slam catch and cook. Bass, crappie, catfish, and blue gill.

[@bnwfishing3552]

I'd be out here throwing a frog with a flashlight taped to my head. Just something I'd do.

[@scottleggejr]

I'd offer you a cold beer and good luck.

[@frankcrapanzano7229]

i never used to use any lights at night , cause i was told lights would scare fish away. but when ide strap a super bright headlamp on my head, it brings in the fish! headlamp on with waders in bout 4 ft of water, near some lily pads at night. ide get a catch almost every cast. no lights, no bites at all. they would literally swarm around me when the headlamp is on. turn it off, they would leave.

[@leebolduc9138]

LFG is an OG hes been around since tgis stuff got popular by far most humble and knowledgeable guy

[@andrewmcadoo9480]

Live Q&A (Maybe while out fishing with LFD and/or OSG) plus giveaways during the live event would be a good start for the 1 millionth subscriber celebration.

[@JeepersCreepers2013]

We used to use those lights with the Styrofoam surrounds that float and point the light straight down. Always seemed to me that you have to get under the little fish... cast some line out and let it drift down through different zones. I think the big fish are opportunistic and feed on the stuff the little ones injure or bust up.

[@j.j.clingman4083]

[@DiscoveringAdventureChannel]

I have never used the stick lights. But I do have one that floats on top of the water.

im the last guy to tell you how to fish, but i think the biguns were on the bottom . just drop it to the bottom and jig it up and down. one night we ran out of minnows and started fishing with willow flies . hard to get on a hook, caught so many i had to hide behind a tree to bait my hook

Heck yeah brother! That's what I'm saying! I've been trying all summer around here, usually don't get off the water until 2:30 or 3:00 am at least. Whacking em out my brush piles! But people in Texas don't make brush piles, probably because they don't have to the fishing is good regardless.

[@dustinhays3205]

definitely keep using the light in different ways cause I have some and want to know the best way to use them from the bank

[@joeyboeller7734]

You are on the jokes today. you got me rolling!

[@huntcastshow7064]

We use light here in Da U.P. all the time for rainbow trout. Usually, we float the light on surface. All the plankton comes up along with little fingerling bass and gills. This draws in the trout “sharks” from about 45 foot down. They come flying in from the dark, make a run at something, then head back for another attack. It’s insane.

[@jsharp78]

If you wanna night fish with a light, you need to get away from that dock. Find brush or a point and drop the light and wait for minnows to start coming up. Then you’re good to go. Cast to the edge of the light or jig below the baitfish. Let me know if I need to come to TX and give some pointers, or you can come to TN and we’ll pull some slabs.
