I fished on a 25' foot Gradywhite drum fishing at night one time. It had transom lights and it was the coolest thing and very useful for boating the fish. I also do some overnight shark trips here out of va beach. One night my buddy brought his cheap float light just for the hell of it and within 2 hours we had spanish mackeral buzzing through the light eating small baitfish. With the bio- luminesence that night it was cool to seem them green streaking through the water. So yea it has fishing uses. And of course it looks good at the dock. My leds are cool white color so they will be a conservative white instead of all them crazy colors some boats have.
