Them "old guys" had some curious advice for night fishing. Old ball canning jar with bail top, lead shot in bottom, tape up a battery pack, flashlite bulb/reflector pointed up, place in jar, use gasket and seal glass lid w/bail, lower to bottom on string, jig above light. I accually caught 2 small lakers like that on cut bait way back. Question is did the lite have anything to do with it! Either way, sweet memory.
