Anyone have much luck with ficious jigs and crappie at night? I've tried green glow and purple glow originals with very little luck although I haven't really been killing them on anything this year. The best luck has been on minnows with a tiny treble hook. This is the first year I've owned any ficious jigs, do they seem to work better in early ice when fish are more aggressive? They are a bit larger than what I am used to using. Also does the glow scare fish?

I've got crappie on the glow green bug eye and Asian lady bug and I believe glow shiner, a friend of mine LOVES glow blue shiner for crappie..I don't do any night fishing so I can't help there but change up your jigging fast, slow, short, long, constant, dead stick, a lot of things you can do, that helps most of the time, also could be your line is too heavy -Bryon

Had some luck last year night time crappie fishing using glow purple convict zitz tipped with a minnow and a lil'minnie glow yellow tiger tipped with a spike . No crappie this year yet haven't had a chance to target them at night, just some nice bluegill on original glow green bug eye and they were pretty aggressive on it. I don't think the glow scares them if anything it will attract them as it's intended to. Just keep trying if their there they should bite. I know some people have caught them on the larger sized zitz like the mag zitz.

Tried Morrison Lake again last night, about ready to give up on that lake. Between three we caught 4 fish.
