The minnows, shrimp and other bait will come up to the light and feed on them, it starts the whole food chain in action. Eventually the bigger fish will come in and eat everything, pop the water. Usually it will attract school trout, but i've fished under lights in an bay off the gulf in AL and caught several red fish. You should give it a try. Buy you a set of construction type lights if you don't have anything out there now, i'd wait till at least 11 ock before start trying to fish, so the lights can stay on for a while to get things going then give it a try.
Blue crabs are good. Catch the same ones down here.
So I chased the geese around my property and I finally got about 15- 20 feet away from them and took a couple decent pictures for you.

Growing up I would always go cat fishing at night with my dad with lanterns while camping. I would have to wake him up to take the cat fish off as I didn’t want to get stung and hated touching fish haha. I may try and get out there this weekend and see what I can catch off the dock at night.
Ohh my god those little ones are adorable, super cute dudes. Hopefully they stay around your property so you can watch them grow and share more pics. Nothing makes me happier than watching the offspring. I go through over 50lbs of bird feed every 7 days here. The raccoons eat their share but it rocks to see all the babies around. I have a couple rabbits and foxes on my property as well. I will have to try and grab some pics.
