fish in the lights - scoobie2 - 08-06-2002
You know, it just blows me away to watch those big fish swim around near those underwater lights that are placed in those canals. and just about impossible to catch. A couple of weeks ago, I spent a week down at Sea Isle (Galveston) and spent a number of late nights just watching those lights and what swam in them. Small bait fish swimming in a circle, and slightly larger fish playing dead floating in the circle and then snapping when they get close enough.... And then the light is suddenly blotted out as a very large shape of a fish, or two swim pass....Ahhhh, the stuff dreams are made of.... It's nice to know that there is still is some big ol Sals out there. Maybe next time...<br><br>

scoobie2,<br>I used to get upset too about the fish in the lights. I found somthing that worked for me and you might want to give it a try. Take your weight off. install a single hook and use a lime green plastic worm for bait.<br>Just drop it down just above the light and jiggle it a little. Stay ready for the setting of the hook and you might just get a pleasent suprize. I have gotten many of nice keepers that way. If it works for you too, come back to the boards and let us know. I have used this method for over 10 years now and never have I been disapointed.[
