I have a 16' aluminum that I am riggin for fishing and bowfishing. I want to rig some lights. I have a generator, but I know how loud they can be. I would have to buy some lights and probably rig another muffler to quiet it down a bit. Or I could rig up some 12v lights and I have 6 6v batteries that we wired for 12v and we have been turning over a diesel motor for several nights trying to pump oil to the top after a rebuild. After about 30 minutes straight they are still running strong. They would make a great set of batteries for bowfishing as they would last all night. (I know these batteries would last so just go along with this)
Realistically would I be better to rig the 12v lights and go fishing or try and rig a muffler for the generator and then try and come up with some sort of light for the generator? I can get some lights from Wal-mart that are the 500w halogen's that are probably $15 each.
Also has anyone ever run LED's underwater? Would this spook the fish? I could make the rig myself and wire the lights to the batteries and those would last a LONG time. But it would not be worth it if it would spook the fish. I know that people are doing this for flounder, but I have never heard anything else.
Any help would be appreciated.
