We do a lot of Crappie fishing at night. But we keep the lights just above the water, and we have our best luck up in cuts like little canals that run off the lakes. I'm thinking they may be going up into the canals to feed at night. And yes, find a cut/canal that's around 6 to 8 feet deep, and fish from the bank and hang a light on a pole just above the water as far out as you can get it. We take a 10 foot piece of PVC and hang a light on the end of it, and we take a piece of metal pipe the PVC will fit in, and we drive the metal pipe at an angle into the bank and stick the PVC in it so that the light is about a foot off the water. We use the same 10ft PVC to hang the light 10ft off the side of the boat. It works great for catching MONDO Crappie at night!
There's folks by me who do this with these HARDCORE pontoon setups. They chum and lights out of the water like you're saying and have 8 people up on the bow of the boat and it looks like they're basically just snagging monsters til they limit out and head in. It's crazy. Same thing with Stripers and lights. They just swarm in massive feeding frenzy circles.
@@scottleggejr I've seen some guys with a set-up like that before, and it was kinda cool. They weren't using rod and reels, they were using like 12ft carbon fiber, telescopic fishing poles, and just kept flipping Crappie after Crappie onto the boat.
@@calvinh.8882 Yea tenkara rods but heavier than normal.
Dude you got a video of a set up? Sounds awesome
@@fish-on1679 No, we never video. But it's easy, just hang a light right at the top of the water.
7:47 I love how it’s all googan baits, but then there’s just those 2 zoom baits that stick out like a sore thumb.
I use lights like that when I go catfishing and carp fishing. Works awesome!
Night fishing for Crappie over lights is my jam. If you find a good spot you can fill a cooler in a couple of hours. Your lights need to be in the water a while to get a good bait fish build up. I would cast into the dark and reel toward the light. From there you can get an idea for where the larger fish are holding. They tend to hang out in the shadows and dart in for the smaller fish in the light. I also will fish just off of where there is already some light, or deep structure I know they hang out in. If you get your light in early enough you can out compete the dock lights.
From the bank works too, but not as well IMO. We catch catfish and bass using this method too, but nothing really to write home about.
Justin hitting the ceiling again and again had me laughing out loud 😂😂😂
Is LFG the soul Googan to still actually fish?
And Jon b.
Not the SOLE Googan, but definitely the SOUL Googan in my book.
@@naturalverities thanks I won't fix it, honoring your sharp eye for my failure.
Jon b and APbass
@@billwhite7099 😉
The crappie were up top but there was something huge on the bottom moving around!
I do a lot of pier fishing on lights. The longer you have a light in a single location the better the fishing will become over time. A dusk to dawn is a great option.
I finally got my lady hooked up on you guys. We look up to y’all, wish you and the family all the best.
I think for a million subscribers you need to take one of them on a fishing trip on Lake Fork!
Bump
Been using lights for crappie fishing for a while. It’ll draw in the plankton and shad. I usually use them around timber in about 35-45 feet of water. Use a small cast net or umbrella net to catch those shad. Hook a few on a aberdeen hook or tip a jig and you’ll catch them quicker than store bought minnows. I’ve had luck just using sassy shad with crappie niblets too. Night fishing is the way to do it during the Texas summers.
Man, I'm either going to have to move to Texas, or get a place to stay there. I'm super envious about all the things you guys get to do that are against the law here in MN. No lights...no dropping structure (christmas trees/pvc "trees")...no jug lines...no unattended lines of any kind...no using panfish for for bait...cut or whole. I love MN with all my heart...but we have some serious regulations here.
God Bless and keep posting the awesome content...and lets all help LFG crush 1,000, 000. Tell everyone u know this channel is where it's at!
Got one of those lights at academy about a month ago to go catfishing. Wound up with a 2 lb crappie. It definitely attracted bait fish and gills to the surface.
I've been using these type of lights for 2 years and they absolutely work from the bank
Whoa! Those birds make some beautiful eggs. And if they stop producing, I see some premium wet flies!
You should really try using plastic crickets, nymphs and crappie minnows. That's what I use when I'm fishing with a light or even a lantern.
I wanted to say that I caught my PR Smallmouth Bass yesterday it was 5 1\2 pounds. I caught it on a GS lunker log
A lot of those docks have Christmas trees hanging from them, and we’re in from they get stacked in them. You can see the strings hanging from the docks
I got hooked on the light method too. Yes sir it works. I found best in about 4 feet of water. Good luck
4ft? That shallow? I’m definitely wanting to try it.
Anyone else notice he did the Outlaw "apologize"? 😂
Actually got 4 of those lights this summer, have used them 4 or 5 times and they work great!
I've always fished the edge of the light. The bait comes to the light and the predators sit at the edge in the shadows waiting for an easy meal. Works around docks at night in Florida saltwater. 🤷🏻♂️
I'd be out here throwing a frog with a flashlight taped to my head. Just something I'd do.
I'd offer you a cold beer and good luck.
i never used to use any lights at night , cause i was told lights would scare fish away. but when ide strap a super bright headlamp on my head, it brings in the fish! headlamp on with waders in bout 4 ft of water, near some lily pads at night. ide get a catch almost every cast. no lights, no bites at all. they would literally swarm around me when the headlamp is on. turn it off, they would leave.
LOVIN THE NIGHT FISHING on BOAT VIDJAS (in my outlaw voice )
A Millionth subscriber celebration- maybe fish on a lake you’ve never fished at.
Million subs Fresh water grand slam catch and cook. Bass, crappie, catfish, and blue gill.
L.F.G. Your channel is easily the Premier fishing channel on the ole tubes! 1 million by winter for sure. Big prayers and love to the Rackleys!
For the million celebration you should invite someone to fish with you. Or better yet you can travel with the silver bullet to a subscriber place and fish a local lake with them!!!!! That would be juicy!!!!
Hey lakeforkguy saw you today on 114 I was in the white F-150 work truck that rolled down my window and hollered at you thanks thanks for rolling down your window and giving me a shout out real quick when I pulled up behind you I didn't know it was you and I was looking at that bass boat you're in right now and thinking to myself this dude's really serious about his fishing and then realized it was you it made my day at work
When I was a kid we went water skiing and fishing at this lake here in California. There was a motel with a restaurant, marina, and a swim area. The swim area had submerged lights that shine up to the motel. Well at night with lights on the swim area was lit up wit several species of fish. I was catfishing with clams and caught a 5 pound carp. So the light thing most definitely works.
I’m getting those new baits in Friday I’m ready to use them
I’d love to see the catfish fishing with the lights! Love the channel man! Always classic videos and phenomenal content!
Live Q&A (Maybe while out fishing with LFD and/or OSG) plus giveaways during the live event would be a good start for the 1 millionth subscriber celebration.
Best 1 million sub video: killing an elk and eating the heart on the mountain.
On Lake lewisville, we used to use lights around the bridge abuttments for crappie in the summer and fall.
Like a stack of pancakes on a sunday mornin....I love Rackleys analogies lol
He has some awesome ones.
im the last guy to tell you how to fish, but i think the biguns were on the bottom . just drop it to the bottom and jig it up and down. one night we ran out of minnows and started fishing with willow flies . hard to get on a hook, caught so many i had to hide behind a tree to bait my hook
In the heat of the summer larger crappie will not travel up to shallow lights. The water there is too hot and lacks enough oxygen content. The larger crappie will be down 20-40 feet deep. The best thing to do is to place your lights and bait that deep.
I have never used the stick lights. But I do have one that floats on top of the water.
Me and my dad used to use a regular car light headlight hooked it to the battery
If you wanna night fish with a light, you need to get away from that dock. Find brush or a point and drop the light and wait for minnows to start coming up. Then you’re good to go. Cast to the edge of the light or jig below the baitfish. Let me know if I need to come to TX and give some pointers, or you can come to TN and we’ll pull some slabs.
Lake Fork Guy, keep the great videos coming! I've actually got footage of an underwater green LED light that i built and need to produce into a video so i can upload to my fishing channel. Keep doin what you do!
Your videos make me wanna go fishing, even if i just got home from fishing and turned on your video
You are the best you tuber ever
guys...lets push LFG for 1mil subs..all other already reach 1mil.
Late night crappie fishing using light works but even better when when can attract bugs, bugs bring minnows minnows bring crappie!!! Move off shore one under the water one just above white light is best!!! Never had sonar but could catch crappie late night with led cork 8 to 15 foot of water!!! Used a coleman lantern hung two feet above the water, the more bugs the best fishing!!!
Lights are an old school trick. Takes a while for the minnows to gather around. But when they do. fish on!
For the million subscribers do a little mini series, or over night camping catch and cook
We got one of those at our lake house on Lake Norman. It attracts white bass, spotted bass, stripers, etc
For the 1000000 sub special you should do a lake fishing slam. Catch Bass, Crappie, Sunfish, and Catfish with (example) a 2 hour time cap
Chartreuse or highlighter yellow trout magnets get me Huge Crappie from the docks. Highly recommend them. They are my everything lure, I've caught more species of fish on them than ANY other lure I've used. Highly recommend them for huge night time crappie.
I think a good idea for a millionth subscription video would be a bunch of tips for beginner anglers
When they really start laying u can bring in eggs twice a day sometimes
Works awesome for snook and redfish
Millionth subscriber gets LFD to cook a batch of golden crispy's fresh caught by LFG! (Suggestion)
Nope, too many weirdos out there lol
Loving the videos! Golden crispi king 👑
The googan squad should come up and fish in northeastern Pennsylvania
Night fishing for crappie on Sam Rayburn back in the 60s we would hang a coleman lantern from a tree and that would bring in crappie and you could fill your coolers .
When you hit a 1 million, go get that crappie tattoo.
Seconded!
Outstanding light, my best buy yet. Had bait fish all over the place. I love it
LFG is an OG hes been around since tgis stuff got popular by far most humble and knowledgeable guy
We used to use those lights with the Styrofoam surrounds that float and point the light straight down. Always seemed to me that you have to get under the little fish... cast some line out and let it drift down through different zones. I think the big fish are opportunistic and feed on the stuff the little ones injure or bust up.
Take those lights and go to tawakoni and get underneath bridges right next to one of those pillars and you will find slab city...
I haven't done it in a bit ,but we used minnows and just jigged them didn't matter if they were alive. Split shot small hook.
Lfg:first fish 4 lb bass,proceeds to catch bait
Me:catch 4lb bass,keep bass fishing til donut shop opens
Heck yeah brother! That's what I'm saying! I've been trying all summer around here, usually don't get off the water until 2:30 or 3:00 am at least. Whacking em out my brush piles! But people in Texas don't make brush piles, probably because they don't have to the fishing is good regardless.
I love fishing at night with a light. I use a floating style and as the shad circle around the light I catch a few and use them for bait. Great way to catch trout and crappie on the lakes i fish.
1 million subs = Bring the family and come fish for stripers on Lake Powell
Hey whatsup LFG, my name is Tyler Kendrick and I go to SFA in East Texas. I am writing an article about successful anglers and their favorite lure/technique to use during the Fall months. I figured I would reach out to you due to your success not only in the fishing world but also with all of your entrepreneurial endeavors and a lot of people look up to you!
I feel like when you're catching tons of small ones, up size the lure a bit to weed those ones out and give the bigger ones a real meal.
13:50, Talk about inner Bob Ross of Crappie Fishing. Lol!
I've filled a boat with tuna. Caught an 18ft shark. Chased 5 foot barramundi on 12lb line. Caught 70lb fish on 18lb line. These days I have absolutely tons of fun chasing fish the size of my hand in knee deep drains on 4lb line. Chase those crappie.
Definitely a fishing trip for a lucky fan for the 1 million subscribers
Deeper the better. Big crappies don’t grow big swimming near the surface
Justin next time I would suggest parking about 6 feet in front of those docks. The momma and daddy crappie should move out a bit at night. After spending all day surrounded by teenagers.
You should do a give-away of you're favorite rod-reel combo's for your million subs! And send one my way of course! Thanks for your videos! Keep em' comin!
LFG for your million subs day! You should do a full blow singles bass tournament against the other googans. on a public lake. It could become a tradition and a big thing for your fans and the other googans fans to look forward to watching every year. And it can be called LFG’s texas mondo meltdown! 😎😎😎😎👌👌👌👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Good vid, you inspired me to make a channel of my own and I am making vids weekly. Thx for being a inspirational TH-camr🤗🤗🤗
You would love Duck eggs. We had good luck at Falcon Lake fishing brush piles and bridge pilings at night under lights.
I'd would really like to see you use those on the bank, seeing I don't have a boat....🙄
The lights work best on dark night no moon. The lights attract plankton, minnows are attract to plankton. Then come the slads and bass. Most the time the bigger one will stay on the out skirt of the light. I like going out with a micro rod lite line and small hook and light and bait saver. Put your light out .wait for the minnows to show up. net then up . Put it on hook . Boom mondo crappie.
Plus crappie is so good!
need to bring that light up north to south dakota and do some ice fishing with the minndak boys! this winter!
I was just thinking of night fishing, who better to teach me than LFG
“Dad gum”
1M subscriber video HAS to be a one-in-a-lifetime trip fishing + hunting combo dangle
I recommend minnows when greenlight fishing. Fun video..lol
Was out fishing in Northern MN this last weekend and caught a few bigger black crappies. Was just suggested your video and love it! Was the first time I'd seen the white crappies and never knew about the light attraction! Way cool.
Subscribed! Hope you get a million!
Get this guy 1M subs.
For the millionth video, you should invite a couple of subscribers to fish with you on a lake near you! PB’s will be broken for sure!! Great video and thanks for your awesomeness!!
for the 1,000,000 subscriber day, you should give away a smaller crispy collecter away with it stocked with some of your fave rod/reels for crispy collecting and the baits to go with it?!?!?!?
used to light fish on watts bar with minnows. as long as there was current you could slay em . but when they would turn the turbines off and the current would flow backwards ,you might as well go home . and also if you would shine a flashlight beyond the light ,ther would sometimes be three or 4 snakes around your boat . thats when i quit doing it. lol.just a little fishing story . but true
I am lucky enough to live close to a lake that it is legal to have underwater lights on docks. There are some big 400watt metal halogen bulbs that people use and the fishing on them is insane. Stripers/ hybrids/crappie/spots/largies all school up on them different times of the year just depending on bait.
Lamping, for fish,
I know That ,over here in the UK.
People lamp fish, for eel when their is moon light about, I think.
Never done it, but it looks interesting.
Lfg stays fishing in his videos. I like his duck ebenezer. 😂
You can definitely troll for them at night with beatle spins or cast it using your troll motor.. Ive done it over and over in a private lake.
We use light here in Da U.P. all the time for rainbow trout. Usually, we float the light on surface. All the plankton comes up along with little fingerling bass and gills. This draws in the trout “sharks” from about 45 foot down. They come flying in from the dark, make a run at something, then head back for another attack. It’s insane.
34" ice rod would be a lot of fun in this situation
Reminds me of summer nights at Lake Mathis on the main floating pier in the state park. My dad, little brother and my self and a huge bucket of minnows. Fishing the S. Texas summer nights under the lights because it was too hot to fish during the day. Simpler times.....
1 million subscriber special - trip to Canada to catch and cook some golden crispy walleyes :)
The only thing I don’t like abt the googan baits is the duribility
I think they struck a good balance. Its just what happens when you load a bunch of salt into your plastic.
