Fishing Frenzy

When you are thinking about going fishing, day or night, crappie can be great choice. These are large sunfish that live in freshwater, and they grow to be upwards of one foot in length and weigh in between a pound and two pounds. Remember that these fish are perfect when you want to fish for something lean. Crappie is a great fish to eat in the morning for breakfast, so why not head out night fishing?

Get a Submersible Light or a Headlamp. If you are going night fishing, you are going to need a headlamp or a submersible light. Remember that you should also choose a light that you can attach to the fishing line with the bait that you are using. These lights can actually trick sleeping fish into thinking that it is day time!

Look for Shallow Water With a Lot of Cover. Remember that unless you have a special spot in mind, you should look for something very specific. Take some time and look for an area that is near the bank or in the shallows at the dock. Look for places that are no deeper than twenty feet. A dock will let you hang up your light very effectively and it can also help you bring in the plankton, which in turn bring the minnows, which in turn will bring in the crappies that you are looking for. This is an impressively easy way to bring the crappies towards your area and you'll find that it is very effective as well. Make sure that you don't underestimate the importance of picking a good spot.

Use a Good Fishing Rod Holder. This is true for fishing at any time of day, but at night, you are going to find that a fishing rod holder is essential. Remember that above all, you do not want to lose the fishing rod that you brought along. Take some time to paint the tip of your fishing rod white. This will let you see when you have a crappie taking the pat.

Take Advantage of an Electronic Depth Finder. When you want to know precisely what is going on underneath you, consider getting an electronic depth finder. A model that is of high quality will tell you what is happening below you and where the crappie are.

Replicate Your Day's Success. Remember that when you are using a headlamp or a submersible light, you are going to be able to stimulate fishing for crappies during the day. The techniques to catch crappies who think it is light include using a blend of dark and light jigs, and if you see a gang of bait fish under your light, don't hesitate to use minnows as as pbait as well. Finally, remember that you can always drop fishing lines at various depths and allow the lines to float freely until you start getting the bites that you need.

When you love crappie fishing and you wouldn't mind a delicious breakfast, take some time to consider how much fun night fishing for crappie might be!
