Mine isn't currently up and running but when operating, they typically bring in gar, sacs and catfish

Are these really green colored lights? Most underwater light places make green light systems. I make these type light systems and I have a couple of bulbs that throw off the yellow to white underwater light. White shows up yellowish in the lake where I live. The white light bulbs are easier to find and 250 watts in particular. Just wondering if the pictures aren't showing the real color?

As we move into summer I have a lot of gar at the lights. And underneath the lights and off towards the shadows I see a lot of bass and white bass. In the early fall I see a lot of crappie. In the summer crappie are out deep.

Ok, I see. I also have above the water LED lights. I rarely use them. In many Texas/Florida saltwater and now freshwater lakes there are systems utilizing submerged HID metal halide lighting ( I also have a 1000 watt high pressure sodium system). So you can find 175 watt to 1000 watt systems. That's what I have at my place and I use 175, 250, 400 and 1000 watt bulbs. These bulbs and connections are waterproofed and sunk into the lake. The controller uses a photo switch so they come on at dusk and go off a about sunrise. In the summer somebody is usually fishing mine. If I don't get down there by sunset, I'll not get to fish them. Lake fishermen love those lights.
