night bowfishing??

i was just thinking. in most of the pics that i've seen on here about bowfishing, most of the boats had big lights and a generator. it might sounds stupid but would the large chemical light sticks work if you actually put them into the water? like hung them from a string or something? i was just wondering. i thought it might work but wasn't sure.

I don't know if that would work. You really need a bright concentrated light. I have seen people use marine batteries and 12volt lights with success.

it was just an idea...

We have used everything from a generator with spots down to flashlights but for a beginner, I wwould recommend cordless spotlights and extra batteries...a couple will help.

trust me a hand held spotlight works just fine and its cheap for starters so grab one and have a ball.....

sorry one last thought i would get a 12 volt not a rechargeable in my experiences they discharge to fast in 20 minutes or so and dont give much longevity to the shoot......

If you could rig up a piece of conduit or something to hold the spotlight it would be better. There's always followup shots to be had for the spotter.

thats true fish the guy spotin has no chance for a folow up shot but a rigged pole would be nice i never thought of that 1 may try it.......
