Best saltwater dock light?

These green lights seem to be ticket for just about all freshwater or saltwater species. Have one on my my dock at D'arbonne and it seems to be a popular place on summer evenings. They really do attract fish.

Thanks...no way to prevent the bulbs from getting fricked up?

I have fished lights a bunch and I have never understood why people throw at the light. I usually catch them off to the side.

I make my own. I have four 1000 watt bulbs off my dock now. But I'm in freshwater.

Green lights attract fish well and you can see them, but they spook very easy.

So do white lights. I have both. I watched a guy showing how to fish LiveScope. He said at times the fish come up and bump the back of lures and then decide they don't want it. And you can then not catch a fish out of that school. Right now the fish do that at my dock. I may get four or five bumps, but they don't take the lure.

Where u at on Darbonne?

We have a camp up Corney

Thanks. So the consensus is some old school halogen lights above the water? Will still probably do some green lights as they look cool too

I have a Deep Glow light in the water right off my dock. Always have fish swimming around it at night. Just wish our water was a little more clear.

We've had some underwater green lights on the lake since 2013 and have probably gone thru 5 bulbs in total (cost around $160 each to replace). It got to the point that I just have one light on my dual light system right now and only turn it on the nights that I'll be using it because it's really not worth letting other people abuse. They're fun to spend a night fishing in, like others have said walking out to a light at 10pm with hundreds of fish swimming around is awesome to see but after you hook one they all scatter unlike old school halogen bulbs over the water.

It's not just the bulb that gets messed up and cracked tho, if people catch the cable to the light and it puts even a small tear into the cable the light has a safety so it won't turn on underwater and destroy the box. With this you gotta pray that either some strong electrical tape will suffice, splice and shorten the cable removing the bad area, or replace the whole bulb and cable.

They make a shark cage looking cover for the light, but all it's going to do is make it more likely for people to hook the light but getting a cable guard might not be a bad idea.
