Night fishing out of Sterling State Park

[freemanward58]

Has anyone fished out of Sterling State Park after dark? Thinking of giving it a try and wondering if anyone has done it. I troll after dark in Little Bay DeNoc and do quite well. Any help would be appreciated, such as how deep and what baits to use. Thanks in advance!

we trolled friday night 19 ft water off crane creek got 4 man limit in three hours, last year we ran alot of evening trips 6 to 11 trolling and got a lot of hogs, try inclose they are feeding on the mayflys, old school way is to jigg for them, give it a try you have nothing to lose/ Reel sport Team

That sounds good was up that way Sunday but did not know about this program all ways willing to try new methods as well as older ones , when you mentioned jigging old school Wayne can you explain ?

Wayne are you dragging RR or HJ's? We went out last week NE of Kellys in 9 FOW, anchored and cast, caught half a dozen nice ones in an hour, but I have wondered about trolling after dark. Put a glow stick on the planer board?

Old school jigging is to anchor over likey spot set
a latern or light on water after dark and jig same jigs as springtime or twister tails on heavey jig, tip with half of worm
shallow water, I have friends that been doing this for years off little cedar point, with great sucess,

Question two, were trolling jet forty's off crane creek or 100 yds
off west sister, same spoons as during the day, small gold two hook weapons, or j 7 rapalas. 32 to 50 back.
off the big boards, we have side light and a big light on the main deck to watch everything, very peacfull at night.
