I seen a few posts asking how to go about catching sandies at nite.
That has been my brand of
fishing for sandies for 15 plus years. I was tired of waterskiers buzzing me jetskis coming too close and the hot Texas Sun beating down on me so I was introduced to this type of fishing. Was given some of Carol Rommell's Cerco Jigs. Well I was hooked for life. Its really simple find a dropoff slope or humps anchor out put out lights and wait for the shad to come in in an hour or so you will have thousands of shad circling your boats. I literally catch them by the hundreds. For those interested in learning how to fish this way you can contact Carol @ 972-286-8408 903-389-4018..

Is Carol still guiding? I went out w him on RC back in 91. Been hitting the fish at night ever since. Love those cerco jigs!!!

Cerco jigs aint nothing better Just got in my supply and his card says he.s guiding Richland Chambers. If you really want unbelievable action give em a try!!!!!!

he also sells the lights

I just hang a high beam headlight over the side about 6" from the water

Pls. pass on info on where to purchase cerco jigs?!! Thanking you in advance for your help.

I used to love to fish at night but find now that I like to sleep more. Man 15 years ago I would buy minnows by the pound and it was some good fishing. I think I might try it again this year just for some fun.

Southwestern Parts & Service might still have the jigs. Call them at (214)630-8161.

Carol Rommel sells them as well as the lights. Personally I I use the orange/black on bottom then dark blue/white, red white and blue, pink, then white have fished them in that order on several different lakes with limits in a short amount of time. I remember one trip on Lake Weathorford with my late Father and a buddy of mine, after we got our limit times three kept fishing as releasing all others we we boated 212 fish by 2am only way I fish for sandies anymore.

LIGHT?
What type of light do youall use to navigate at night.
Thank's in advance

A light to shine on or in the water to attract bait fish, is what they are talking about.

Do you do this in the open lake or do big coves work as well? Do you need to mark fish or you just wait untill they come to you?

Sorry
Maybe I did not make myself clear. I understand coleman lanterns , l.e.d. lights , incadesent , ect.
In the dark ages we used to stay all night and come back at first light.I am asking what type of light
you all use getting home in the dark. thank you.

I just use running lights on my boat. But I know the lakes I fish real well, If I had to use a light I would use hand held spot light

I just fish structure and wait for fish to come to me. They will once you have a huge cloud of shad around your boat
