I had the same question so I asked the game warden and he said if he checked me he would write me a ticket. He said take the first limit back to truck/ camp and go catch another limit after midnight he would not have a problem with that.
I usually fish in big open coves close to a channel I have green light and floating light on each end of boat. Usually use minnows with crappie nibbles jigs usually catch bigger fish. In summer usually very subtle bite a lot of times you can just feel them put it in their mouths.
I saw four bucks last spring at Stockton swimming across the lake. I'd guess it to be four hundred yards and they made it across there in no time. Pretty cool
I use two of each just find some fish before dark and set up I have a few spots that usually always produce so I don't usually get there till dark. Seems like all my good spots are open coves I've never had any luck in timber but I know lots of people have. I usually do good at it but seems like this year is pretty tough .
Was going to head up to bolivar landing Sunday night and try some night fishing but didn't know where I could get some minnows. Is there any where that sells them in bolivar?
