Also watch the flow and direction of the minnows and smaller fish. Try to immulate it with your lures. The rapalla minnow and Big O's seem to work best for me. I have had little luck with live bait. Make sure you have the lure retrieval above the depth of the fish. I have a green monster light which glows green and seems to attract the larger fish (large stripers). I had to upgrade the calibre of my fishing tackle. The larger stripper will run away with lures and even strighten out small trebble hooks and small swivel snaps.

I also built my own 400 watt metal halide submersible light which gives off a yellow glow as opposed to the Mercury 175 Watt green glow of the monster light. It seems to attract the smaller
spotted bass and crappie. I think the two work well in conjunction with each other.

If you want to make your own light, send me an email for my trial and error sucess method. It is not cheap to do. You can score a lot of the components off eBay, but you will have to compete with the pot growers for the available assets. There is a lot more to it than a bulb and a lenght of electrical cord. You need a mogul socket and the appropriate ballast/capacitor (H39 for the 175 Mercury Vapor bulb and an M59 ballast with the 400 Watt Metal Hallide)with the selected bulb. You will also have to prepare a potting or encapsulating compound to surround the under water components.
