I like the starfire by q==beam, also the above light looks good, but I've never tried one.

I use a home made version of one similar to this one.
12 Volt Light

I bought both of my lights at wally world. I have a cheap floating light and a submersible light with a 15 foot cord. Both lights have served well. I've got about 20 bucks in the pair. I do plan on getting one of those green lights everyone has.

I have a friend who bought a cheap (like 3 dollar) lantern from wally world that was battery operated and then put it into a pickle jar and tied a rope on to the lid, put a rock in the jar with the lantern and we sunk it, necessity is the mother of invention and on that particular night we did not have any of his submersible lights. I told him it would never work, the jar would leak, but it worked. First time I was ever wrong in my life I think, it felt weird

Same thing happened to me about ten years ago. My therapist says I should eventually make a full recovery.

Actually about a month ago the wife and I were fishing and whatever the discussion was she looked around and said you know what you are right and I am glad I was here to see it. It was a glorious day for me!!

Dont waste your money on the Green Lights. Ive used all kinds of lights at night. A few years back I thought I just had to have one of the green lights. Well they attract fish, but no better than white lights as far as I can tell. But I do know one thing for sure I cant catch fish as well under green lights. I dont use live bait when I fish under lights. And when I tried the green light I just was not catching fish like normal. I just thought it was a bad night. Then one night turned into several bad nights. Then it got broke and I was using my old white lights and the fishing was good again. But also if Im even around other boats with green lights I dont catch fish well. But the thing is they are not catching fish either.
Ive caught more white bass out of Beaver Lake than anyone can imagine at night. Ive been doing it for over 20 years, and Im 100% positive that Green fishing lights hurt my results when I use them or are around them.
Just 3 nights ago I was fishing for whites at night. We pulled up and tied about 30 feet from a boat that had green lights. We put our lights in and had good baitfish pretty quick. I kept telling my buddy that I do not have good luck when green lights are around. Well after about an hour that boat left. In less than five minutes I started catching fish. I caught 18 big whites in less than 30 minutes. Well a boat was idling by and seen me catching fish so they pulled right in beside us and threw in some green lights. They caught one fish right when they first pulled up, and then nothing. My fishing went to crap and they caught just the one. Then another boat pulled up on the other side of us and threw in the green lights and they were using shad. They caught one fish in about 3 hours.
When all the green lights were gone I caught more Whites than all the other people combined for the night who fished around me. This is not the first night Ive noticed this. Ive been convinced of this for about 5 years now. Im going to start fishing on bluffs instead of tying under the bridge. There are so many people fishing under there I cant get away from them green lights.
Im not saying they dont attract fish I think they do, but that green light affects the way they bite for some reason.
So just get you a white light they are cheap you dont need one of them high dollar ones. Stay away from the green lights and you will catch more fish.
