Fishing the lights - any suggestions?

Good point Gilbert, you know those bigger trout hang on the edges and something cruising through the dark water with a glow would get my attention

All of the trout in east bay glow in the dark.

Well, here is an update. I fished the under water light a couple of houses down using a paddle tail power bait in a glo color. Saw a couple of nice size fish around 8:00, so I started throwing and after the second cast, I nailed a 23" 6lb red. He fought like hell, but he is in the cooler for dinner tomorrow night.

I am hooked now and thanks AP for recommending the glo with paddle tail.

I took a picture using my phone, so I will post it later.

I can't, my wireless network at the house is being set up this weekend. If there is an email address I can send it to I will.

Way to go man! That's a good fight. Once you catch a couple you have to move to the elite tackle. Go to wall mart and get a microlite spinning reel w/4lb test. That's the only way to go if your fishing the lights!

Fished under the light last night again and I let the wife do more of the throwing, so she can catch something. First cast and she catch a 18" red, which was released. Saw several more large fish at the same light, but no takers. Drank alot and went to bed around mignight.

The lights are tricky... once you catch a fish you have to let it warm back up for 10-15min. I've found that during commercials I can walk down stairs throw a line in catch a fish release it try a few more times and then go back inside, next commercial walk down do it all over
