Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Bojo light is here

I got home a few minutes ago and my bojo light was in i will install it this weekend. Here are a few pics i dont know about bugs but my pug wasnt happy
about the light. I will update this weekend with some install pics.

I didnt get to install the light this weekend due to the rain so i got some work done this morning. I got the 4x4s in the ground just waiting on the concrete to dry. My plan is to put a 10 foot 4x4 on top of the 2 4x4s in the ground and hinge the back one so i can swing it back on land to do maintence without getting in the water. The 4x4 will rest where the 2x4 is but will kinda cantilever over the water. Here is a pic of my progress more to come this week.

thanks for posting this up wicked....i've been "contemplating" buying one of those. am interested to see yer final install.

I got the 4x4 mounted and hinged and then it started raining again and its raining today. I hope to have it up and running this weekend with some more pics.

Well i got it finished today here are a few pics i will be waiting for night fall like a kid on christmas morning. Its pretty easy to lift back to work on it.

Hey now! that is a grand way to mount your light/bug wacker. If you dont mind I would like to use your idea and mount mine the same way. I have to get mine off the dock because when the bugs start flying around the light they dont care who they run into.

You can sure use my idea since i stole your pump house design.LOL I wanted to build a dock to mount it to but its to hot to build a dock i think i like this better.

I just wanted to post an update and tell you that this light works wonderful and it knocks tons of bugs on the water. The fish are loving it.

thanks for the update wicked.

so it hinges straight back up and over?

kind of a stupid question, but outside of changing a light bulb (which is hard enough for me to do), what kind of maintenance does it need?

Yes it hinges up and over. The only other thing to replace besides the bulbs would be the weedeater string but that should last a very long time.

The weed eater cords need cleaning periodically. They get larger with bug guts and eventually slow the motor down. You can simply stick any object into the assembly while its running and this will shadder the bugs parts off. Clean the bowl occasionally with easy off oven cleaner

Bob thought I would post this here. Thanks for bringing the light to the tradshow. The show was fair. I did not sell any direclty but several interested. Wwhat was amazing was how mnay folks stopped to tell me they have one and how great they are. Not one single person said anything negative about the product.

I'm looking forward to adding them to product lineup. One fella said it was great also because it takes the bugs away from biting him when down at his dock.

Thanks Greg I've just returned from St. Simons where it is much hotter than the georgia coast. The southeast (as you already know) needs rain desperately. Sorry the show was not better. Guess it wasn't fair for you to try selling my light this close to where i am. You will have more success when you leave middle georgia. Working on video that should be awesome.

Wickedinhere,

That is an awesome mount for your bojo light. I made a bug wacker light about a year ago, and never got around to hanging it. This was partly because I couldn't think of a way that I really liked and also because my light is so darn heavy. I second what Trialsguy said. I would definitely like to use your idea. Man its cool!!

I'm in the process of copying this exact design. Do I have to send royalties?

I'll be hanging up my mega-nice homemade "Limb Bream" model. Hopefully in a couple of days.

Just came in from watching fish feed under bo-jo light. Igot it earlier this summer and it took about two weeks for the fish to really get going. Now the are there waiting for it to come on. I

I'd like to know how it works for you Bruce. I'm going to try to build one of these Wickedinhere mounts this weekend so I can try mine out as well.

Sorry fellows i havent responded till now i have been on vacation.
I have no problems with any copies of my mount just post some pics of your finished product. I just got home today and it didnt fall in the water so i guess its gonna be ok. lol

You got it, buddy.

I would like to add that I have tried all of the bug knocking into the water devices. The bugslugger, the bug o matic, something else that didn't work, then the BOJO. The bojo is hands down the best available. I sit on my docks whenever I can and just watch the fish feasting on the bugs. AWESOME!!!

The combination of the GREEN MONSTER UNDERWATER FISHING LIGHT, An Aquapro fish feeder set to go off about an hour after sunset, and the BOJO bug light has turned my docks into the most coolest place to be after dark. We dont even fish anymore, we just watch the action. I am definitely going to take pics soon.

When I take people down to see all the fish at night, they are just amazed at everything that is going on in the water. Little fish eating bugs and plankton, big fish eating bugs and fish food, and bigger fish swooping in and eating little fish.

I have a "no dock" mount that is pretty easy. Can someone tell me how to post pictures and I'll share them. Thanks

Here you go. This shows a couple different ways.

Chris Steelman,

Thanks for the help. I am almost computor illiterate, but am making progress. I now have a photobucket account with a few pictures in it. Hope to work on the balance soon.

Thanks again for your help.

Any update on your installs?

I'd really like to see photos of that!

Just need to make a solar-powered version.

Since this thread has been resurected from the dead, I'll also add to it. Last winter I returned to GA and went night fishing on Lake Sinclair. We cruised from dock to dock that had lights over the water. My friend said we were coming up to his favorite dock where the fishing is the best. Come to find out, that dock had a Bojo light! To be honest, when I first saw these, I was a little skeptical, but I've seen the proof for myself. I'm a believer now.

WOW this thread is old.LOL I sold this place but i am currently building a new pond and home place and i will have another bojo light.

Well tonight I will try to get some close up detailed pictures of the fish looking for a easy bug snack. We just installed some LED lights that are mostly for swimming and looks but really do bring in the fish.

It is really brilliant to see. I had been told, and I see the sales pich over and over, that bugs are not attracted to LED, because there is no UV or infrared in the light it produces. Weather is it the colour or what I don't know but I do know the bugs are attracted to the light and when swarming stumble into the water. The waiting minnows just gobble them up like candy. If you wait long enough you will see the dark submarine perch swim by and the minnows just disappear for a second or two.

It is really a neat thing to watch I just hope I can catch it on camera or video tonight. There is a few settings on my camera I didn't try yet.

Link to lighting thread.

Cheers Don.

Minnows video.

Here is a video of the minnows. They really like the blue and green. When the lights go red the minnows just leave. The blue and green are the sweet colours.

Cheers Don.

Where did you get the lights?, or are those the ones you mfg?

I need to find some good ones for an up coming project.

BUMPing an old thread.

IS Bob Hunnicutt still posting? Did he ever figure out how to post pictures of his bug light designs?

Condello, can you post your design and how it works?

Anyone else with pictures share?

Wickedinhere: It appears you have a junction box hiding out under the 4x4 near the end. What goes in that junction box? Does it need to be water tight?

I see the light in the first post was using CFL bulbs. I would probably trial a LED bulb unless there is something about a certain wavelength or color light that works better?
