Crappies in the dark?

[RiverChuckNorris]

This may be a pathetic question but do the crappies bite once it's dark out on the croix? Due to the tea stain we never really Pursued eyes after dark and since I don't fish crappies much, thought I'd ask! Yes I'm aware crappies often are great night biters but just wondering with the stained water if that's still the case? Might go tomorrow evening if they do

Yes, they do. Its not a late bite but it does happen around 6 and 7pm at times and usually does not last long.

I've caught a couple crappie here and there, usually in a burst a good while after dark also. I've never sat out too late though. I fell into a decent catfish bite one evening in one of the deeper holes, got 4 channels and lost a couple other fish. It was warm and early in the season, a couple other groups were setup outside catching them too.

Yeap, as long as I can avoid that school of shad. Well I've caught crappies at the bottom tier of that shad school at night as well as mooneyes and whitebass too. Night time is just not as interesting since there's a lot more fish swimming about and less even wants to bite. I'm talking like 5 times more fish just swimming around compared to the ones you see already during daytime. I'm not even counting the shad schools.
