Type of Lantern for Baitfish at night

Post by phino »

Hey everyone, wanted to to know if anyone can recommend some lanterns to hang over the rail on a bridge for baitfish at night. I saw one at burlington for $5.49 for a 20 LED lantern that can be set to dim or bright. But not sure how bright it is or if it will be bright enough. Anyone have recommendations? Don't think i'm looking for any special kind that is too expensive, but something to get the job done and be bright enough to attract some bait (if any are around). Thanks!

Yes, they do. The brighter the light, the better they do to bring in the bait. When the guys are fishing down south we will drop two lantern at times. We had a few boat coming in we had to steer away cause it looked like the North Star down there.
