Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Do dock lights attract LMB?

I noticed Dave Beasley's article in the May/June PB magazine (online, post office guy still hasn't finished reading my physical issue) about how to improve LMB catch rates using dock lights. He mentioned that electrofishing showed LMB congregate around these lights.

Anybody here with dock lights? What has been your experience?

Not only LMB. We used to hook auto head lights to 12 volt batteries and float them. That draws bait fish and predators.

Let me try to find the video of our dock lights. We had 24V 40watt LED lights off our dock just under the surface. The lights would bring in the plankton, then the smaller minnows to the plankton, then the larger fish to the minnows. This would go on all night long and was so fun to watch. These lights took a direct shot of lightning and we never replaced them.

It is my understanding the green light is the best to attract the plankton this way.

Cheers Don.
