Handheld Gig Lights?
Posted on 8/17/20 at 11:37 am

Went and stuck some fish this weekend. Buddy had this "Hydro Glow" gig light that runs on 4 AA batteries. Light was pretty sweet and lightweight, but he had one fail on him while we were out. He said it's the 4th one to fail on him this year.
Wondering if there were any similar alternatives that might hold up better. Any suggestions?

Coastal Floundering Lights Website
Also can find him on FB
I bought the "1600" dual head model that runs off an external battery I keep in a backpack. He will also build you one with batteries included in the handle if you do not want to carry external battery.
I bought mine 3 yrs ago and still performs like day 1.
Located and built in BSL, Mississippi. Shipping options listed on website as well.

I’ll second Jerry’s. He makes top quality gigging lights.

Both options look like good lights. Was hoping there was something else that ran on double a batteries! Appreciate the recs. Will probably look into Jerry’s stuff.

Coastal floundering lights builds them with internal mounted AA Batteries. I highly recommend contacting them. They are responsive on Facebook.

I don't own one of these, but have seen and used them. They are nice. Much better than the old style that I still use.

Can someone be successful gigging flounders in Lake Ponchartrain or would the closest area of opportunity be in Gulf Shores?
Always wants to try this, it looks like it would be fun.

Underwater green fishing lights
LINK
Have had several going on 4 years now, no issues. Rechargeable plug in batteries, get at least 5 hours out of them (website claims 5-8) I’ve had as much as 7
ETA: also close to you, can get them in La Marque

There use to be areas in Lake P that held flounder, were easy to access and had large nice areas to gig on. The areas I know about I am not sure if it is legal to access them from land any more, they are sort of fenced off now. I also don't know if it still holds flounder given the changes in the lake the last few years. I know flounder go into fresh water, but they use to be there during the migration when it was Saltwater/Brackish.

I have the coastal floundering light (2400) and a afishnsea light. I actually like the arishnsea light better. It is lighter and brighter than the coastal floundering light. Both are powered by a 12v battery kept in a backpack. I’ve used them primarily on the beaches in Mississippi.
