What makes great light for night fishing is red rope lights!!!

I have a inverter on my boat, nothing big just a small one, and it lights them rope lights fine.

Tuck them under the gunnels and you never see them, till you turn them on, then its a nice glow with pleanty of light!!

Being under the gunnel keeps all light in the boat and nothing spills out on the water to scare the fish.

I am going to twist a white light with my red, this way when I want lots of light I will have it!!

Red or orange is great as they don't ruin your night vision when oin the water.

Well what you need on that boat is a good GPS Map, Then you just need to find the buoy and then shut her down.

M.J., I thought about buying an inverter as well. Is it hardwired right off the battery, can you mount it in a perminment location. The one I seen was portable only.

Lewes has a X-Mas boat parade on the canal, alot of te boats put on X-Mas lights and go up and down the canal. Thought of maybe doing it this year. ;D

i was thinking about doing that as well. anyone have an idea on how long a battery would last on the inverter to say power lights , fan,etc for those hot days?/..

I have a 400 watt and its plenty, I run two battery's so I leave one for the motor.

Lights last a long time!! But that said I leave the 2nd battery on all the time so when I am moving from one spot to the next its charging some.
