Vessels engaged in trawling, as opposed to normal fishing, indicate this by displaying a green light over a white light. Night fishing lights come in various colors – purple, blue, yellow, and white – and are designed to take advantage of the phototactic behavior exhibited by many fish species. These fish are either attracted to the light or prey upon phototactic invertebrates drawn by the light.
Our fishing lights feature powerful beams with long distances, several power modes, RGB and red light colors for improved night vision, and additional modes for signaling. For your next fishing trip, trust Outrigger Outdoors for the best selection of crappie fishing gear. We offer illuminated floats – both LED light and light stick versions – to enhance your night fishing experience.
Three primary types of specialty lights are used for night fishing: floating fishing lights, submersible fishing lights, and black lights. A notable product is a light with 108 LEDs on four sides, providing a full 360-degree exposure, attracting fish from all directions. Some fish species, such as Prawns, Squid, Shad, Bass, and Trout, are particularly attracted to the striking light of this lamp.
For bite detection at night, quality dock fishing lights should use cured-in-place seals to prevent water intrusion. LED lights are popular, but alternatives like the Underwater Fish Light Classic 175W Single Fish Light, which uses HID technology, are also available.
