Hey guys,

I am going out very early in the morning on Sun. 2am (thats early for me, don't laugh

What do you guys use to light up your yak and see at night? I want to see but more importantly want to BE seen. Headlamps, flashlights, glowsticks? Any advice would be apreciated. Thanks, Matt

I just use my headlamp,i turndown the light on sonar so my eyes can acclimate a little bit, solas tape works well if you want to be seen, it has a nice reflection.

good luck

Over the last few months I have been out during the early hours 2 or 3 am in a boat.

I can tell you for sure that the kayaks are hard to spot even with a light, and I'm looking closely for them and know where you would be fishing.

I use this light from WestMarine because it shines 360 deg. and does not ruin your night vision.

-I clip it on the Top of a rods for maximum visibility.
