Fishing Lights
If you want to spend some quality time with some of your family or friends take them night fishing. If you get things set up correctly and have quality underwater fishing equipment you could be in for a very enjoyable evening. Light fishing is not a new technology and has been around for years because most die hard night fisherman know the importance of attracting bait fish to there night fishing location.
One very important reason many game fish like to feed at night is because they have a distinct advantage over there prey at night. When you attract bait fish to your submerged fishing lighting source game fish will sit right outside on the edges of the light source beam and wait for unsuspecting bait fish to come by.
The bait fish cannot react as quickly as the game fish at night and are an easy meal for many species of fish at night, particularly the species that have good eye sight and smell, crappie, walleye and catfish.
Game fish such as crappie and walleye and many others are active night feeders because they have very good night vision and can see color contrast and the can distinguish between different light intensities very easy. If you plan on going light fishing light fishing look for either a blue or green fishing light that can be submerged under water.
Many small baitfish, shrimp, and insects are attracted to lights at night but they do not have the acute night vision that many game fish like crappie and walleye do.
There are two types of commercial underwater lighting that you can purchase, but we will not discuss the land based systems used primarily at boat docks. We will concentrate on portable dc powered submersible lights used for fishing. When you go to purchase one of these lights here is what to look for in priority order.
- 1 High Intensity
- 2 Blue & Green lighting
- 3 Powered by a DC battery, and must be portable
- 4 Has long cables and good battery attachments to submerge to different depths
- 5 Durable And Waterproof at different depths.
Look on line and at some department stores for blue or green lights for fishing designed specifically to be submerged at different depths for night fishing. Do not purchase a light unless it is a high powered florescent light that has a wattage between 25-40, emits between 1-3 thousand lumens.
The cost range for night fishing fluorescents to be used for light fishing range between 160$ to 200$. You can find cheaper lights but they will not work as well.
It is a good practice to compare the different manufacturers of portable dc powered submersible fishing lights. Again, I would recommend you concentrate on light manufacturers that sell portable florescent lights which have between 25 to 40 watts of power in combination of a light intensity between 1000 to 3000 lumens.
You can find these lights that emit both blue and green light. And scientific data supports that these two colors work the best. Just remember when comparing prices that the lights you are comparing have the criteria we have listed here. Cheaper is not always better. Typically you can find a quality florescent for light fishing for between 160$ to 195$.
In conclusion, Make Sure to check the quality of a listed underwater fishing Lights before you purchase,remember,cheaper is not always better when purchasing a night fishing light.
