Green Dock Fishing Lights

Hello Everyone,

I'm a new member here. I'm 59 years old and just bought a retirement home on Lake Wedowee, on Mad Indian Creek as it becomes the Big Tallapoosa River, just above 48 bridge. Year round deep water for fishing.

I haven't fished in a long time, but am looking forward to getting back into it.

I have a dock and see a lot of bait fish around, and an occasional "group attack" by predator fish - mostly crappie and spots I'd guess. My neighbor says he sees the same thing around his dock. He has some green lights submerged around his dock, although I don't know the brand (he is at the lake only occasionally, so I haven't had the chance to ask what brand of lights he uses).

I want to submerge a green light or two at my dock, and have been researching light manufacturers.

One that looks good is the "Green Blob". Does anyone have a critique on these lights, or any other lights? I want to get this right the first time. I'm not in a hurry to buy. I just want to get it right.

Crappie fishing is my favorite type of fishing, although I haven't fished for crappie in a long time. I'm looking forward to catching up on lost time.

Thanks for your help.

This company has some pretty cool lights. The dock light set ups have several options. BamaBass on YouTube installed some on his dock on his pond build videos. Here is the link to his video

I fish around a lot of docks. I do well around the ones that have lights shining down on the water

I bought one off amazon not sure the make but when I just looked might be green blog. I know i payed about 139$ 4 years ago and is still going strong and is one of the most fished lights on my lake by other fisheman. I never fish my own dock. Scott

:welcome Keep reading here and you'll find everything you need to know. You'll also find the people here are GLAD TO SHARE info. Now if I could just remember any of it when I get on the water :Rofl

crappie follow bait as you well know and at night, light attracts bait , not sure if green lights do better or not , but bright light does attract baitfish for sure .
my buddy is trying to cut a trip later today short to go hit someone's "green" dock lights on another lake .
no clue what lights are best , i would tend to imagine it would be the cheapest ones for me ....just saying

Probaly should have mentioned I have 2 lights 1 on each end of doc. One side is a bo-jo with the weed eater string. While I visably see more around that light. It's actualy very cool to sit and watch the hundreds of bluegill sitting under it in summertime just waiting on a bug to hit water and the green one ( underwater ) on other end of dock. Both have had countless fish caught but the tournament guys swear they catch more on the green one. Scott

If you want to make your own, check out Fish-n-stuff on Youtube. Keith has a couple of videos about how to make them. Considerably less than pre-made. I made mine for about $45. Works great and is longer than most other ones for sale. :twocents

I bought a VERY bright LED street light and mounted it on the lake side of my dock. Being LED, it is super bright close to the dock and semi bright across the entire cove. We catch crappie under it year round. It's fun to stand and watch as the bait swims in circles and the crappie dart through feeding on them. The benefits of it being above the dock is it brings in mayflies and the crappie love to pick them up when they land on the surface. The negative is the spiders build webs to catch the mayflies too!.
Also, lighting a large area with a street light makes it easier for novice folks to catch crappie as all they need to do is cast in any lit area and reel. The crappie seem to find them!

Monster light. There built in Alexander city alabama. Go online and look at there sight. I think they install also.

then here I sit pondering , wondering why fish like the green docks with lights better than the other color docks with lights :dono
