Special Report On Crappie Fishing At Night
Fishing pressure can make crappies spooky, and activity seems to preferentially turn off the bigger fish. Of course, you will need to have all your night fishing for crappie equipment ready before it gets dark. Night fishing for crappie often produces more trophy size bass and walleyes and the same is true of crappie. My favorite time of year to be go night fishing for crappie is after the post spawn period and moving into the summer. If want to catch crappie in both size and numbers then you definitely want to learn how to night fish.
Most night fisherman do their crappie fishing near bridges or other lighted structures close to a boat ramp. This technique works but as you would expect you are going to get some fishing pressure here. What I like to do is use a underwater fishing light system which is also referred to as a submersible light source. This is an idea method to create your own night feeding zone and have the fish come to you with little fishing pressure. The ideal place I look for to go night fishing for crappie is areas where the bait fish are plentiful. There are some good spots that I prefer at night and you may too. Look for a turn in a channel when you are in a tributary creek, or look for a area where two creek channels merge. If a channel swings close to a bank and there are plenty stumps this can be a excellent crappie honey hole when you crappie fish at night. The underwater light will attract zoon plankton which drawl 1000’s of bait fish to your area. Also the trophy crappies like to roam the shallows at night. For some reason I have had the best luck when there is a moon lit night.
If a cold front is keeping the big crappie scarce then turn to night fishing for crappie. A typical night spot to fish during a cold front head for docks that are close to the crappies spawning areas The big crappie like to hold in this type of structure, and with the added touch of a submerged light you can get them active. Use a lighted bobber with a big crappie minnow out on the edge of your underwater fishing light edges and you will get some good action. Once you get the bait fish attracted the action could get real heavy.
Well that concludes my article about night fishing for crappie. Have a great day and the the best of luck to you on your next fishing trip
