Underwater Light from Amazon, DOES IT WORK? (Bass & Crappie Fishing at Night)

[@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.

[@WildFishHunting]

*this is a so amazing underwater light. im always using it for my fishing blogs*

[@lifewithjonathan5277]

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

[@SuperJuancho13]

You should really try using plastic crickets, nymphs and crappie minnows. That's what I use when I'm fishing with a light or even a lantern.

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@bwcok7947]

The crappie were up top but there was something huge on the bottom moving around!

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.....

[@dfrazier8076]

Come on up to Missouri and we will go crappie fishing. I spider rig for them and have pretty good luck. Have not tried it at night with a light yet however. Might have to try it!!!

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.

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.

Late night crappie fishing using light works but even better when when can attract bugs, bugs bring minnows minnows bring crappie!!! Move off shore one under the water one just above white light is best!!! Never had sonar but could catch crappie late night with led cork 8 to 15 foot of water!!! Used a coleman lantern hung two feet above the water, the more bugs the best fishing!!!

[@oldmcdonald9582]

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

[@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.

[@garypatton9720]

In the heat of the summer larger crappie will not travel up to shallow lights. The water there is too hot and lacks enough oxygen content. The larger crappie will be down 20-40 feet deep. The best thing to do is to place your lights and bait that deep.

[@olgeorgiaboy1]

I am lucky enough to live close to a lake that it is legal to have underwater lights on docks. There are some big 400watt metal halogen bulbs that people use and the fishing on them is insane. Stripers/ hybrids/crappie/spots/largies all school up on them different times of the year just depending on bait.

[@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.
