While fishing for crappie at night pot licker and I were on a school and were catching crappie almost every cast. I got hung on some brush and lost my jig I then tied on a pink head purple body jig and to my surprise i Caught a gill and then another and another


. I then lost that jig and tied on a yellow head purple body jig and the same thing happened more gills
And even a small warmouth now for the weird part we were fishing in 20fow with only the moon for light and we were catching fish on the bottom. I also caught crappie on the same purple jig but didnt catch any gills on any other jig color besides the purple jig

Congrats guys. Any problems with insects?

Those are some nice slabs Leo. Your jigs really show up nice! Good job as always!



Side Note: Keep an eye out on the W. Prong and let me know when the sunnies are getting active!

gar...nice report...I guess that confirms that the sunnies are still deep, but it shouldn't be too long now until they start moving up shallow...

Nice Fish!




You catching em in your back yard?

Thank you sir! Only a few mosquitoes right at sundown.

Thanks for the reply Chuck! Will let you know

Thanks vogey. I agree 100% shouldn't be long. Its warming up fast

Thank you Gitter done! I wish i had crappie in my backyard then i wouldn't have to drive 75mi to fish for them

Thanks!

Side Note: You might also try a green portable underwater light the next time you night fish! I have had GREAT results using them!

Great post and some nice fish. What color of jigs/baits do you like to use while fishing night?

My favorite time to catch quality bluegills and sunfish is at night. I use tube jigs on 132nd or 16th oz jig heads. Best colors for me are chartreuse/black and red/chartreuse. No bobber necessary, just a cast and a slow but steady retrieve nails em!

Thanks for the reply Laker! I like chartreuse with any other color and a solid white are my go-to colors at night but I'm going to add more dark colors to my night fishing arsenal

Thanks for your reply and info Lovfldx

Sweeeeeeettt! My friend Ms D absolutely loves pink and purple patterns for sunfish. She has a lot of confidence in those colors on some of the places she/we fish and with good reason.
