Spooky Carp

[marshallknight]

Been shooting a few grass carp at night, but they have gotten "light shy", as soon as a light hits them they take off. Any suggestions on how to prevent this? Green light? Red light? Etc.

What colour did you have in your lights at night? It must be light blue colour.

Maybe try using a stabilizer lighted mount only. Go blacked out and pan the light until you see them. Wait until last minute to turn it on and shoot quickly.

MY 0.02

Sounds like they been shot at before . My 2 cents worth.

That if from the fish being pressured. Fish that have been shot at over and over learn very quickly

Seen this many times. I used to shoot at night a lot. Now I shoot more during that day. 95% more actually. Shooting at night isnt what it used to be. Thats a fact.
