Short answer: Yes!



Buffs can be weird about lights... but generally speaking, we shoot more with lights than we do in the day. When common carp are spawning, you can sometimes do better in the daytime than at night but overall, night time is the right time to shoot commons.

Usually, you can see into the water better with the lights at night than you can see into the water during the day. Carp, buffs and Gar practically glow with the lights on them. Even with the lights and genny going, you can usually get right up on them.

Like all bowfishing, different times of year will have different results. When it's hot out like this, it's hit or miss at day or night. Also, sometimes the fish move into the shallows early (right after dark) and sometimes you don't really start to see them 'til past midnight.

You'll really like the lights.
