Introduction

Join us, Max and Danielle of Burley Outdoors, as we recount a recent night on the icy lakes of Minnesota, where the switch to glow and UV lures brought us not just a great fishing experience, but an exceptional catch!

Day to Night Transition

Our fishing expedition started with gold jigs under the bright sky, yielding moderate success. However, as the sun set and darkness crept over the lake, our fishing strategy had to adapt to the changing conditions.

Embracing the Glow

Switching to jigs with UV paint, designed to glow in the dark waters, marked a significant turning point. This change, borne from our understanding of crappie behavior in low light, quickly proved its worth.

Danielle’s Remarkable Catch

The highlight of the night was Danielle’s incredible skill and a bit of glowing lure magic. Amidst the serene darkness, her line gave a sudden jerk – a strong indication of a successful strike. With expert finesse, Danielle reeled in a magnificent crappie, measuring an impressive 13 inches! This catch wasn’t just a personal triumph; it was a testament to the effectiveness of our glowing lures under the ice.

The Allure of UV and Glow Lures

This experience reaffirmed the exceptional utility of glow and UV lures in ice fishing, especially during the night or in low-light conditions. Their radiant allure seems to captivate the fish, turning a regular fishing trip into an extraordinary adventure.

Conclusion

Our night on the ice, illuminated by glowing lures and marked by Danielle’s fantastic catch, was a reminder of the joys and surprises in ice fishing. These glowing lures are more than just tools; they are keys to unlocking a world of fishing possibilities under the stars. At Burley Outdoors, we’re excited to share these experiences and hope they inspire your next ice fishing journey.
