Get you a couple of bright headlights and some thick stra-foam. Cut out a hole in the stra-foam and use a bracket to keep the light from falling thru and hook it to a 12 volt battery.
I would advise placing it in the water before it gets too hot or before you hook it up. Just allow them to float on top.
The green underwater lights, I have never used. The headlights and an old coleman lantern hanging from a snag or a couple of lanterns and fish around the ring displayed on the water, just inside the dark shallows.
My Dad always placed the boat away from the lights, but close enough to fish inside the circle--minnows will be everywhere in the light. Many guys bait the spot.
I was wondering what you do about the bugs during the night this time of year?

Insect spray---Plus keep the lights away from the boat, stay in the dimly lighted area. My boat, I have hook-ups for orange tail lights that shine pretty good inside the boat. Place them where you do not have to stare at them, but still provide a dim light to see bye.Quote:

Maybe tomorrow--at daylight. :D

Agree with the submersible lights. After it gets completely dark almost all bugs are gone.Quote:

I'm wanting to rig my boat with black lights on the side out of the way and not have to take off and put on.Most of my fishing is done out of a 15 jon lowe,anyone have any ideals?
