The driving force and secret desire of every bass fisherman, is to one day be a crappie fisherman............Could it be that the good Lord just smilies and looks the other way when a fisherman tells a lie?

I have a question about night fishing. I fish a dock that extends out to 40 feet of water. The water temp is around 75-80 degrees and the crappie seem to have vanished. Ive been catching small ones here and there and just a few keeper sized crappie so i know some are still there but perhaps im using my light wrong.
How deep should i try using my light, and over how many feet of water?
Thanks

Get a solar light and put it on both ends of your dock. It will come on after dark and draw minnows from a large area to your dock. The docks that I've been catching crappie at all year have Mercury lights that come on after dark. My fish finder shows huge numbers of fish under that dock.
Green light is best for Sand bass. I fish green lights allot but seldom catch crappie in those lights. Sometimes I will get one around the edge of the light. I quite often will see huge LM Bass and Catfish saunter through these lights and big stripers will come though at high speed as well. It's no wonder a crappie that is smart enough to live to be over 10 inches does not want to be illuminated in that light. Stupid ghost minnows are slaughtered all night in high numbers for not knowing this.
John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee.
