I got every light there is for night fishing. Over the years have tried them all including LED, green, floating, etc but the old Coleman Lantern is by far, the best to use. It brings bugs, kills them, bait fish come up to eat them, and the eating fish follow. You just can't beat them. For so many years Fred and I kept a small house boat at Raysville Marina on Clark Hill just to use it for night fishing both Winter and Summer. We would pull it out to a hump on Friday and fish Friday and Saturday night. I don't remember a bad night in all those years.
