A traditional white light around
docks or on boats will attract some bait and game fish however you will find that most of the time they will hang around the outer edges of the glow on the dark. Always cast and bring your lure along the edge of the light right? What if you could bring the fish closer to you? The pure color attracts bait right into the lights not bothering their eyes. If the bait is ok with it, the game fish are. Pictured are a school of flying fish and squid about 2 miles off of Palm Beach, FL. In an attempt to find clean water for the photoshoot we headed out a bit then stopped. In seconds we were covered up in bait. Some were even jumping in the boat! Another picture is of Tarpon swimming into the super Blue light to feed on the bait. The fish were breaking the water not both-
ered in the least by the Super Blue LED
underwater lights.What attracts all of us including fish? Imagine a channel marker you are looking for has a solid green or red light affixed to it with the lights of the shoreline behind. Difficult to see isn’t it? But if the same marker has a flashing light or strobing light it stands out against all the other lights doesn’t it? It attracts your atten-
tion and you know where to go. The same works for fish and this was proven many times in different scenarios.One study was conducted at a hydropower plant. When water was released to produce power or to reduce the level of the reservoir the fish were being drawn into the spillway. In an effort to attract the fish away from the area to another part of the lake an underwater strobe light mounted on a platform was used. Studies at this location showed that the strobe attracted fish away from the dam and reduced mortality rate by over 30%. Proof again that strobes attract more than just human eyes.From these studies came the idea for OceanLED to develop and introduce our LED Fish Strobe. Available in Super Green, Super Blue, or Super Cyan and in two different sizes, these strobes offer 9 different strobing patterns. For use during the day to simulate a very powerful and deep penetrating reflection off of lures and baitfish or for use at night to attract tuna, swordfish, and other species to the boat. Use at night should also include non strob-
ing lights in the boat to keep the anglers eyes acclimated to a constant light. Our LED Fish Strobe, unlike a strobing filament style bulb such as a Xenon, can be strobed endlessly with reduction in life of the LEDs. A filament style bulb can not take the constant on and off nor change of strobe patterns like an LED. LEDs are extremely robust and resilient. What happens when you bring a fish to the boat at night? You have your spreader or T-Top lights on and the fish gets into the white light and suddenly it goes wild again and the fight is back on! Why? What is the problem with white light?White light is a combination of all colors of the spectrum. As we walk around we see white light reflecting off surfaces that give off different colors. No problem there, but imagine being put into a solid white room with solid white lights coming at you from all sides, it would drive your vision crazy! Now if you were to take a single color light and turn it on in that same room say blue or green it is easy to deal with, right? The same thing happens with a fish. You bring it to the boat and into the overwhelming white light and that is a very unhappy fish. But what if you were to bring him into a single color of light such as Blue, Green, or Cyan you have a fish that remains very calm by compari-
son and is easier to control for boating or release.Imagine fighting that tuna or swordfish for an hour or more only to lose it at the boat when you brought it into the white light. Why risk losing fish when you can have a single pure color
Boat led light that is easier on yours and the fishes eyes. Fish on!Don’t take out word for it. We have testimonials from many fisherman that have tested and testified to this exact happening using our lights. “I installed the Flush Mount Super Blue in the bottom of my 31’ Jupiter and had the best week of swordfishing in my entire life with 28 fish! We have nicknamed the blue light the calming light be-
cause the fish do not get skittish when being brought to the boat.” – Captain Mark Pratt >
