help with night fishing

[honkerhunter815]

I'm going this weekend to try eye fishing at night for the first time. any tips, tricks?

[SD Fisherman]

Have some glow jigs, have all of your holes drilled an hour or so before dusk, and don't be afraid to go shallow.

Shallow shallow shallow.. 5-10 feet
Big minnows.. Jigging seems to be less productive than tipups after dark

I will be running 8 frabill thermals with lights and 3 foot mono leaders. you suggest pike bait? Or mediums?

[SD Fisherman]

On tip ups I use chubs or shiners in the 5-6" range. If I only have minnows, I try to find the biggest ones I have and put 2 on each rig. I use treble hooks and hook one minnow in the back and the other through the lips.

What he said.. Although I prefer suckers to shiners.. Chubs work greAt too..

Not that I care but are you allowed that many lines in vt?

[Vtgooseman]

8 Lines per angler in VT on inland waters with Lake Champlain being the exception, with 15 allowed there.
