Light tip#1

If you have a fishing light that is not submersible you can still use it to attract crappie at night. You will use your night fishing light differently to fish for crappie.

Light tip#2

There is definitely a benefit to using a underwater fishing light when you go night fishing for crappie. If you do purchase a underwater fishing light you will need to rig it so it is only two or three inches below the water. you don't want the light to be too close to the crappie you do not want to spook them away from you. (they will be attracted to the deeper areas where the light is a little bit lower - they will eat small fish and organisms attracted to the low light areas)
