  • With no good ice for machine travel yet, I decided to take a hike after dark to a spot I had a feeling would be holding some crappies. It was worth the walk!

      Have you tried that green light they throw in the water? I was intrigued by that and wanted to try it. I guess the light brings in bugs,that brings minnows etc.

      ⁠@@saminthewoodsI have used it. Takes the right lake for it to work. Some lakes with heavy bug hatches I’ve noticed it’s not as beneficial but on lakes that don’t have as many dence bug populations it helps get the bugs in one spot and that brings in this fish.

      I like the biggest size honestly. Especially for crappies. Gets down quick and fishes fast.

    How deep can you fish a basin with a light? I would think past 12/14' would be useless? Were they coming off bottom or suspended?

    • @calebwistad
      @calebwistad  5 місяців тому

      I’ve definitely had good results down to about 30’ These particular fish were about 22’ down over 26 feet of water.

    Do you think you would have caught any fish without all that high $$ equipment?!

    • @calebwistad
      @calebwistad  5 місяців тому +4

      That totally depends on what you are including in your definition of “high dollar equipment.” If I had gone out there with a just a lantern, a chisel and a cheap jig rod it’s highly unlikely that I would have caught any fish in that scenario. I needed at least a flasher to find the fish and a decent rod to feel the ultra light bites. Every little advantage helps but very few of them are absolutely necessary. Plus I enjoy fishing with cool stuff. 😆

      I’ve heard you should keep the light off to the side and fish the edge, but you seem to be on them. I’ve tried a few times and nothing showed up
