The technology for fishing for crappie has been around for a few years. Fishing for crappie can be a very rewarding fishing trip and underwater lighting for fishing is not a new concept. The importance of these lights is appreciated by anybody who goes night fishing for crappie on a regular basis. Underwater fishing lights plain and simple attract bait fish, and we all know that bait fish attract the crappie. Using underwater fishing lights can optimally up your chances for successful night fishing for crappie trip.

When it’s really hot outside, you will catch more crappie. Crappies are cold blooded, remember. Their body heat is regulated by the outside environment. This means that they do not have an internal cooling system like we do. When things cool down at night, they will be easier to catch, when the water has more oxygen in it.

Now this could be a bit uncomfortable. Bring Fishing Lights that can clip on to railing or the side of your boat. Angle the lights so they reflect off the surface of the water. The light and the heat will attract thousands of bugs, and also bait fish! Make sure you bring plenty of insect repellent as you will need it. The little fish swarming in your area are called the “bait ball” Fish the area outside area of the “bait ball” where there is less competition for your bait. If live minnows do not work, use a jig, it will stand out.

Submerge your Night Fishing Light Sources directly in the centre of the Illumination area. You will still need to do your research about being at the right place to catch your limit of crappie, but if you ad a underwater light source you will increase your crappie catch dramatically.

One of the main reasons Night Fishing Light Sources works so well to catch crappie is because crappie have a distinct advantage over the “food chain” at night. The “food chain” is attracted by the bait fish that have been attracted using your surface light, and by your sunken light, but they cannot react quickly enough to escape the game fish.

Crappie have a distinct advantage at night because most of them can detect colour at night. This creates a distinct advantage for the game fish over the food chain because not only can they detect change in light intensity but also colour contrast. It has been known for sometime that fish , shrimp, and insects are attracted to light at night , but you probably are asking yourself what colour is best at night? The answer to this question is the colour blue or green because they attract both the food chain and the crappie.

Incandescent lights can be purchased for under £35. The best lights will have a clip to mount the lights and the end of the wires will need to have banana clips to mount to a battery. The best place to buy online fishing supplies in the UK is Summertym.co.uk.

In conclusion, do some research when purchasing Submerged Night Fishing Lights. Remember cheaper is not always better. Good luck and Happy fishing!
