Right on. It would be nice to get out there for a night session next week.

I'm leaning towards daytime, as I doubt that I'll have a light set up by then. But, lets see how the weather goes. Maybe I could do daytime on Thursday and night on Saturday.

I can't do daytime fishing sessions during the week. I've got Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday open though.

I need to get a light solution figured out as well.

I will probably end up doing something like this:

It's a pretty good solution, since the LED light is made for on the water use and is submersible.

I will probably end up using Gray PVC (electrical conduit) since it is resistant to UV. It's also cheaper.

Good idea with the light. I might have to go that route. I'll let you know if I go Saturday night.

do kayaks need the bow lights also or just a white stern light? I guess I need to put lights on mine also. I don't know how enthused I am about winter night fishing but I love fishing at night in the summer time. Kayaks are hard enough to see anyway so I wonder what lights we do need. Ed, if you're thinking about Thursday I might be on that also.

Just a white light. I have heard some argue that red/green isn't a good idea as it gives other boaters the impression that you are under power.

I'll keep you posted Harry.
