Hey everyone, it always seems that if I want to spend a lot of time on the water I end up having to make an overnight trip, a full day usually is hard to get. The evening and morning bites are always nice, but I want to catch more bass when the lights go out. I've tried fishing floating and sumbersible lights at a dock and spill way at McLure, both of which spots I know have PLENTY of big bass. For some reason I can't get anything with these lights. But I know plenty of others who have given photographic proof that these lights can work miracles. I always get an insane grouping of baitfish and bluegill around these lights, and once in a while, something decent will zip through, and there's a decent amount of rises around the perimeter of the light proving to me there and feeding fish there at the time. I have tried live minnows, shallow, deep, next to the light, towards the edge of the reach of light, a few feet outside the edge of the light. I've tried crawdads in the same manner, I've used spoons, spinners, dropshoted lizards and worms, even tried live crawlers in various places. I've used an array of topwater lures, still nothing. These lights DEFINITELY bring the fish there to eat, but now I need to know how to get them to eat what I want, lol. ANyone got any tips on how to use these submersible or floating lights to your advantage? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
SIncerely,
Hunter/Lost in the dark
