greenlight on kayak

[Sugar Jay]

I got to try out a new piece of equipment coming to the market from Wildcat Lighting, a green light for the kayak (Extreme Lighting). It is a pretty nifty little light that definitely attracts the bait to the light and also gives you light to navigate and mess with your tackle. I will continue using it and hopefully get some more footage in action. Check it out.

Well it has an orange light on the backside of it that is supposed to help keep insects away. I didn't notice anything other then the normal mosquitos, but like I said I will keep testing and see how it is on multiple outings.

How well could you see after using said light on the paddle back? Lots o bait... See any large predators in the fray?

I left the light on the whole paddle back, just turned it facing out so it was like a guide light. Didn't see any big fish around, but I don't think I was in a very good spot either. I need more field testing, or atleast that is what I am going to tell my wife so I can get out again.

Need more info. How was it attached to the yak? What is the power source, etc?

I've used this light before and SJ is right. It really does attract alot of bait! It mounts to a regular Scotty Rod holder base as it is designed around the Scotty 360 degree sea light, and uses any 12 volt supply you want. I used a small motorcycle battery and an array of 8 1.5' volts. The moto battery lasted from around dark thirty until about 4:30 in the a.m. and was still going strong when I shut it down.
Great product, and watch for these Wildcat Lighting guy's!

As already mentioned it fits in any scotty mount. I had mine coming off of my X-wing in the picture, but you could easily put it in about any location on your yak. I was use 8 AA batteries in a waterproof bag, not sure how long that will last since it was still working when I left.

Pretty cool, how much $$ do they run?

Here is what I got from the owner.

"The final production unit is still in the making ( working out bugs) to insure quality product...
It is almost finished.... it will have several styles for diverse applications and should cost about $150.00 for the basic unit... then options such as mounts and attachments will be available for it as well."

If this is the link to these lights, I can't find anything on their website to click on that shows the actual lights.

I don't work for this company so I am not sure about their website. I do know that what I used was a prototype and is not on the market yet so that may be why you can't find anything on their site. Hope that helps.

Floating along the shoreline at night in shallow water with one of these lights attached to a yak, one might be able to gig some flounder.

I have never floundered, but I would be willing to bet it would be a pretty good option.

[dmanars]

yeah i rigged two submersible light on each side of my yak with pvc, um like two pontoons. Ive only used it once this year though.
