Night rigs?

[acebarker]

What kind of light setup does everyone use for night fishing? I'm new to bass fishing and was just wondering what you can use to see what you are doing.

I don't use this anymore, but I used to use a black light and flourescent line (glows)

Ace,

I haven't fished at night much lately, but my experience is that anything other than a black light will just about blind you. Its pretty wild how the black light will light up the underside of leaves on trees so you can see the bank for casting.

I have heard of using black lights but I just couldn't imagine being able to see much with them. Thanks for the info, looks like I'll purchasing a black light soon.

Dangit, one more gadget to buy for the boat. I think I need a bigger boat!

Aren't black lights illegal? I read somewhere that having a black light will get you a 100 dollar fine. May have been the NC guidelines (was there 2 weeks ago) but then again, it may be in both states.

They sell them at Bass Pro so I would hope that if they are illegal then they would give you some kinda of disclaimer or something.

The disclaimer would probably be in small type on the package itself. I quickly checked the regs and didn't see anything about using lights of any type. Granted, I went to Cobb county schools, so take it for what it may be worth.

I just checked the NC regs for lakes on the blue ridge parkway, (stricter than the rest of NC) and it is listed there. That may have been the only place I saw that rule.
