    Default Night fishing set ups


    I would like to see pics of your night fishing set ups.Like your lighting inside and outside the boat and any special rigging you may have. I am planning on rigging my boat for some night fishing and need some input.I've seen some nice led lights on some boats on this site but finding them again could be tough.Thanks. crappiehoarder

    I saw a pic of a boat with blue leds and really liked it,would like to hear where to get them and price if thats not against the rules. Also I thought about adding some rope lighting for being able to see what I am doing in the boat (for retying and such). Help me out please.

    I simply use two 12V "blacklights" (both of which also have a white light bulb). And, as soon as my fishing partner remembers the person he lent my 2burner Coleman Lantern w/shield to, and gets it back .. then I'll have that, as well

    ... cp

I am basicly a spider rigger only guy.

    When I wired my boat I added accessory outlets to plug in my night fishing lights, Mino-Mizer, and 12v electric fillet knife. I also wired in LED rope lights, then I made a pole to hold my Coleman lantern over the edge of the boat. I'll see what I can find for pictures.

    Hard to see, however if you look close there is a green light in the water on the right side of the picture. That light is plugged into my accessory outlet. What I don't have a picture of is my Coleman lantern in action.
    The large cooler is my live-well, the little cooler contains adult beverages, and the yellow toped container is my minnow bucket with the Mino-Mizer.
