You mean tie it on top of the rear of the kayak, or drag it? If you mean drag it...I didn't think they were made to float.

Do I need any type of "running" lights on my kayak to fish at night in Mobile Bay?

Didn't want to start a new thread

If you are going to operate at night and you are non-powered, you will need a white light, such as a lantern or flashlight that will be visible to other boaters. If you anchor out, this light must stay on at all times. If you put a motor on the canoe, you will have to use the same light configuration as any other motorboat: red and green light on the bow (red to port-left, green to starboard-right) and an all-around white light (visible 360 degrees) on the stern. Lighting kits that have battery operated lights can be clipped or clamped onto a canoe.

Coast Guard states that all you need is a flashlight/spotlight to be able to shine to prevent collision.

As far as constant running nav lights, it looks like they are optional.

You can probably get a 360 degree light on a pole and just put it in one of the rod holders to be safe.

I was kind of curious myself.

I guess that's why so many people have those flag poles with the light on them. Damn things are $100 though. I think i'll just hang a lantern.

I think I'll just have a flashlight for kicks. I will be within 100 yards of the shore the entire time fishing lights on the end of people's piers

I've made this one. I haven't actually used it much except for early morning before the sun comes up. Works well enough.

Same here.

Went to Leeville last Friday. Only got to fish for a few hours before the monsoon started. Mostly caught undersized trout. Hardly any keepers.

I feel cheated.

Yall need to get on the stick!

B&B,

There is another forum, Pensacola Fishing Forum, that has a lot of good info on fishing the gulf. A lot of Panhandle guys who go out of Pensacola beach and Navarre.

I've been wanting to give it a shot, but can't find anyone interested in going.

They catch a lot of Cobia, AJ, Snapper, Mahi, Kings, Spanish, Bonita, Sharks, Pompano. And from time to time they will catch Grouper, Wahoo, Blackfin Tuna and even Sail Fish.

If I were in Daphne, i'd be all over it.
