It's very important When you are night crappie fishing to use your above water and underwater fishing lights wisely. The majority of night crappie fisherman have some type of strategy they use for placement of their night fishing lights.One strategy is to keep a small light on board - keep it hidden from the fish to avoid spooking them - but emitting enough light so you can see what you are doing. The most common practice is to set your above water lights so they illuminate across the water. This is great for attracting bugs and small organisms that crappie's love. (this is my favorite method). Find out which method works for you. Here is a quick guide for using lights to catch crappie at night.
Learn to unleash the power of underwater fishing lighting, and above water lighting to catch crappie at night.
Light tip#1
If your light is not submersible, you can still use it to attract some fish. The key is to shine the light "across the water" as opposed to "in the water". This will attract small fish, which in turn attract bigger prey the crappie.
Light tip#2
I highly recommend you use a reliable underwater fishing light to fish for crappie at night. If you are using a submersible light, you'll want to submerge your light so it is only two or three inches under the water. you don't want the light to be too close to the crappie you do not want to spook them away from you.The crappie will be attracted to the area of lower intensity light because that is where the small fish and organisms will be located.
Light tip#3
Fish don't like to be blinded by light anymore then you do. They won't come to close to the bright part of your underwater fishing light. You will want to set your night fishing for crappie rigs so they are set up to fish below the lights illumination, this is where the crappie will be attracted too.
