Johnny2guns Posted May 12, 2018 Report Posted May 12, 2018 When fishing at night, what do you guys use for a forward facing light? I just made my first voyage night trolling and I was very uncomfortable with my setup. Only being able to see roughly 20ft total beyond the bow. I used a old school probably 500watt offroad cigarette lighter powered light. Any input would be appreciated!
Canuknucklehead Posted May 12, 2018 Report Posted May 12, 2018 (edited) I have a GoLight, I purchased it about five years ago when I had a camp on the Trent River in the Kawartha Lakes. Returning to camp in the dark was dangerous because the river has lots of buoys. The first night I used it I came upon a guy fishing in the dark in a paddle boat with no navigation lights. About a month later I stumble upon a couple making out in the middle of the lake with the navigation lights turned off. This light is powerful, it would easily light up two buoys ahead of me. It operates remotely, turns nearly 360 degrees and moves up and down. GoLight GoBee Stanchion Mount Remote Spotlight Edited May 13, 2018 by Canuknucklehead 1

The fact it turns remotely is very cool. Thanks for the input!
Canuknucklehead Posted May 13, 2018 Report Posted May 13, 2018 It really comes in handy at night, you can shine it directly into the boat whenever you catch a fish.

That'd be handy as well. When warm the ability to keep the bugs at the bow would be nice I bet.
Canuknucklehead Posted May 13, 2018 Report Posted May 13, 2018 When moving it lights up the bugs, the air is saturated with them.
