Prawning Lights.

Hi Guys,

We're keen to give prawning from the boat a go this season, we have a pretty good idea of the areas to try in the Swan River and down at Mandurah but was wondering if any of you fellow fisho's might have any idea's/suggestions on a good light set up to run off both sides of the boat?

Cheers

Paul

Under water lights

I found were the best. Need a medium spread of light to extend about 5 metres forward.Sealed units on a pole about 1/2 metre under surface. Above water lights do work but with the reflection and reduced underwater coverage ya don't see as many or quickly enough to catch'em. Be ready for some good size blue manna crabs. We used to go out with the first rains. Always interesting hanging onto a 10 foot ali pole in a storm.

Thanks for the info Wes, was thinking of mounting a set of LED spotties off the side of the hard top, but really like the idea of the under water lights think I'll seriously look at setting something up with those.
