Default Fish Vector??? Night Fishing?

well its a safe bet that its gonna be a extremely hot summer. i was thinking about purchasing one of those fish vector under water lights and trying it on big lake this summer to beat the heat a little bit. Does any one on here have experience with one ? would it be worth it ? i think it could yield some fun nights.

I had one, caught all of our fish under sodium lights and the vector broke on my 2nd trip out.

Actually I still have it, it just was not effecive compared to 1,000 to 1,500 sodium lights and I never did get it fixed.

If you have a pier to put it on and shore power go w/ the sodium vapor. Just make sure that no one can touch it . Will burn the skin right off ya hand.

That thing is way overpriced. I got the same light (doesn't have the sound though) from academy for 20 bucks and it works great. my buddy and me tried them both brands out of different boats, the same night, and I caught more than he did.

I have night fished plenty under lights and in dark and have done good but the thought of big lake on a nice summer night with no crazy people running around and a nice tide and your fav reef is glowing like supermarket gets me going.

A semi? Son I'm full blown over here. Remember our little "Hackberry Potlickin' reef" ? where we smashed em 4 days in a row? Son, can you imagine some lights on that thing? I've just about gave up saltwater, but that'd be worth it.

May try that, only (Minor) problem would be the 10ft cord. It already takes 5' to get from batteries to water.
