Hit a local Walmart or Tackle Store and find a light encased in styrofoam with leads to connect to battery. Throw it out into the water and surround it with some minnows under bobbers and then HOLD ON. Make sure you have plenty of skeeter repellent if you have no breeze. I employ a head lamp from Walmart to help me unhook my catch and rebait. Good Luck. I hope this helps. The big "O" can be awesome this time of year.
