Here's my pm to Serovich! If you wanted to know just ask. I'm an easy guy to ask things of just ask anyone!

Hey, glad you got an interest in night stalking. We are the only ones that go in group gatherings for the fun of fishing. There may be a few join in to tell you how to set up.

You really need to think about this for a few seconds. There are lots of ways to get set up but it has to be what you are comfortable with. Something easy and affordable. There are submersible lights which is in green or white light and draw very little power from the battery. There are painters lamps that clamp on and you can change the plug in to run your lights with 12 volt current with 12 volt bulbs or leave the connectors as is and run a 12 volt inverter and use curly bulbs of 75 watts. You'll also need to have a source of light for inside the boat for when you got tangles or just to help see the rod tips. Hint! Paint the tips of the rods flat white about 8 to 10 inches from the tip back to the third eye of the rod but not the eyes! Next you would need rod holders and anchors heavy enough to hold in a breezy conditions up to light winds.
As you can see you need a plan. Maybe best to take a trip out with us one night and see how some of the guys are set up and get an idea on what you may want. All of the guys will help with suggestions. I use to use just basic get in the boat and go. Colman lantern, minnows and anchor. I have evolved to bigger boat, rod holders and better lighting system on my pontoon. It works for me. So it's not complicated but just a lot of getting the right set up that works for you. Pm me if you like I got answers to a lot of what you got questions for.
As for safety on you boat you need running lights for night time, PFD floatation devise's, whistle and fire extinguisher. You get the idea

Holler back if you got questions I will be glad to help you best I can. Also looking forward to meeting you out here some night enjoying the dark side.
