Thanks, Fin-n-Fish
"Again light isn't necessary and fish like crappie seem to hate glow jigs."
Well, I more or less always bring my Coleman lantern for both light and hand-warming. However, at Pineview, I have used glowing jigs with great success for crappie in the past (haven't found em the last couple years.) I also see people purposely setting up big, bright lights outside their tents, and a couple guys using bright green underwater lights shallow above deep water.
I took a buddy out to PV once, who jokingly accused me of withholding information, because I was out-fishing him so badly, until he found out I was using glow-in-the-dark jigs. I had assumed anybody fishing in deep water at night would have known to use a glow jig.
That makes it even more interesting that your experience is the opposite. Is that mostly at UL, or everywhere in your experience? Wonder what that is about? Depth? Water clarity? Simple skittishness in the shallow water and noise on the ice?
