Fishing under the lights?

[Forsythian]

Heading to Elbow with the 12yrold this coming Saturday... the plan is to bass/ bait fish in the evening, set up some juglines, pick up some bait at Lead Hill, then drop down a light after dark.

Stone et.al., if you're out there I'd appreciate a little advice. Would you recommend setting up off a point? bluff end? deep pocket? thanks!

I set up on a bluff end that has a long point coming out from it.

I tie to the bluff & pull out till i get in 60 t 70 feet of water,then if you want to move to a different depth you can loosen the anchor rope & pull back towards the bluff to where you want,this works prett well also in finding what depth there at.

Any more info you might need i'll be back on Thur night.

Thanks Stone, I'll let you know how we do.

We finally went last Saturday (8/11 it might have been). We set up in the mouth of a cut along sunset bluff. Fishing was not great, we caught nothing but gar, but it was a very cool experience. Nice breeze, new moon, the Perseid meteor shower, big snapping turtle, all combined for a real fun night. I'm ready to go again this coming Saturday...
