Late night lights?
 

Just wondering if anybody hit the lights in prien, mosslake, wherever recently? Me and a buddy went last night And it was slow, just wondering how anybody has been doing if they've gone recently.

I have nothing about prien lake since I never fished it, but I do however have the perfect light set for fishing at night. Set up wherever you want to catch them.

Lets see a pic of your light set up bigv

It's not that easy but that is a common misconception about night fishing.

Fishing on my pier in the channel has been extremely slow, that's with 6 1000 watt lights and live bait.

There are only a handful of spots in the lake right now to catch fish at night depending on wind and you need a boat with real lights at these spots, not the underwater led garage people are trying.

You need bait, the right lights and clear water just like fishing in the day, then you have to throw what they want. I have probably only night fished 25 or so times this year which is a down year by my standards.

Some nights you aren't going to catch them.

I have the set posted for sale on here. I will attach a pic of the set. 9460 RALS, check them out on the web.

that's enough to help you tie a good knot on the boat at night. lumens, even wattage is not a good indicator of what you need to get a good bite going at night.

I used to use two 400 watt high pressure sodium lights. it was so so. The only way to go is 500+ metal halide. I now run one 500 watt and one 1000 watt metal halide. the 500 barely looks on compared to the 1000 watt 7200 kelvin light.

Well said, my night boat runs 4 1000 watt halide lights. People try alot of different things with high expectations as it relates to night fishing and are generally disappointed. There was a thread on here six months ago where people recommended using 250 watt green led lights on the transom. I gave away two of those to Kenner 18 a few months ago.

I use this set for night fishing on Vernon lake for crappie(Sacaulait)and it works perfect. 30 foot of water and I have fish 4' under the lights. Maybe you think what you have is the only thing that works but I also know this set works. Never tried it in salt water yet but I do know some of my best light fishing has been under dim platform lights. I will have to just try it out and see if it works on BL.

two different worlds.

If you notice those dim lights on a platform, they are way up in the air. height makes up for a lot of sins. lol We used to run the lights about 2' off the water. now we put them on poles to get them 5 or 6 feet off.

I have been doing this with the father of night fishing for the last 15 years. We have tried it all. the perfect set up is 4 1500 watt metal halides. It takes the big honda 6500 watt inverter to run them. that is an over $4000 generator. you can run them with a standard generator but you will have to yell at each other on the boat.

you can go and have success at night with no lights but if you want to be able to get the bite going on almost any night ........ more is better.

Learn something new everyday, I don't really like night fishing but enjoy it when I do go. It is mostly enjoyable because its so cool compared to the hot days.
Sorry Rippenlips for hijacking your post.

July and August it's the only way to beat the heat.

Lights that are on every night are better than lights that are only on occasionally.

Stay with it fellows. The bite is not instant.

How about if you sink a 10 foot strand of L E D lights (the green ones)

Nope. Go big and go high for best results. Underwater is not near as effective.
