so you don't like the light because it spooks the fish ?

we turn on the underwater boat lights when at the dock and catch lots of stripers, mostly shorts .

As it said many times already, ambient light that does not move is different from a moving light. Try waving a high power flashlight under your dock a few times and see what happens.

You don't need lights in NJ, for gawd's sake!  

 

Unless you're in Block Island or Cuttyhunk.   Now that's a whole new level of darkness.  Basically can go only hear the waves without a light on moonless, overcast nights.

I should also mention i don't wear a headlamp on my head, i wear it around my neck. 

Best way to go, always shining down.

Was walking down a jetty last night and a guy is messing with some gear, white  led headlight on. I new he was going to look at me and ask if I caught something so I pulled my cap down and looked sideways as I walked around him.

WTF do people think that's its ok to shine a light in peoples faces?
