Night fishing lights

[Hookem03]

Has anyone tried fishing at night with a floating or submersible light? Ran across it on another website and was curious to try it out since there is so much boat traffic during the day right now. It would be nice to wear em out at night when its cooler.

I don't like the floaty lights.

Get ya some 500w halos and a Honda 3000 generator. Quiet.

Or go 12v with a battery bank. Here is a link to some affordable 12v floods. Stay away from LEDs , they don't cut the water too well.

Find green lights if you can. Something about the hue attracts plankton >baitfish>fish

I'm setting up for some nighttime myself.

Use the green submersible lights all the time at Toledo for sac-a-lait. It takes about an hour or so to attract the bait and then the fish. Sometimes 2 hours. We set them out around 9 either by tying up a spare boat to a tree or floating a styrofoam piece with the battery on top. Then we go back to the camp, play cards, drink beer and then go back out around 10-11. We usually then put out a 2nd light to really light 'em up!

I have a small 4000 generator that I use for bowfishing, not sure about the vibration but that should work if i put it up on the poling platform above my motor and few halos right?

Man I use halos and the bulbs burn quick. If you use halos grab some replacement bulbs. I use those for bowfishing too. But for fishing I dont like the vibrating and noise. Econolight got 12v

Hell give it a try. If its too loud. Go fish some of docks. Fish always hang around the lights at dock.

I tried floating lights once. Didn't even get a nibble.
