Light?

[APCfishing]

What do you cat guys use to light up the river bottoms?

Im not looking to spend a fortune but would like a quality light that's bright enough to spot floating hazzards while cruising and Lilydale boat launch weirdos.

Ive got a couple cheapies from wally world and from the tent sale at the big C store that have worked great for me not sure of the brand but I dont think i have spend more than 20 bucks on them.

I would not suggest a spot light that is rechargeable as they tend to dye when thwey are needed most get the kind that plug into cig lighter or that have battery clamps.

spot light with gator clamps wired to it. sometimes I would like some deck lights But I know how much in and out of the boat we do and the would need some major casing around them... And over head lighting on a 15' boat would look very odd.

This reminds me that I need to wire some battery clamps on mine. It has a cigarette lighter adapter on it now, but that sure doesn't seem to work very good, seems to jiggle loose, etc.

Cheap, yellow one from Fleet Farm.

What, you don't like the excitement of driving along and having your spot go out on you???

no matter how much light you have in the middle of the summer your not going to be abl to navigate through that thick fog. Remembering were the next bend/snag is key.

The cheapo I bought from Gander last year already bit the dust!

Good luck with remembering where the next bend is in the fog. Been there and found out that doesn't work. I'm an old pilot and I fly my GPS trail back to the launch and I do that very slowly and very carefully. Watch your GPS and watch your sonar and go slow. I've had a few times where I've given up moving and just tucked in on the shore and put out my rods and fished until I could see well enough to go in. A lower unit gets kind of expensive or worse getting hurt.

That happened to me mid-April first time out at night in the boat about six times going from mouth of rush to 169 bridge, then it quit working altogether. Luckily our make shift landing was was right next to the bridge. Went home and ordered some spot lights.
