Fishing lights are an easy to make tool that helps fishermen draw in small fish. Often, the small fish become attracted to the shiny, bright light and as they swim toward it, they are usually noticed by other larger species who will follow and get entangled in the line.
Just a few low cost items are all that are needed to complete your project. You will need to get a flashlight. Because LED flashlights tend to stay cool, they are the most logic choice for this project. You are also going to need some of your fish line, sand, pebbles or small rocks and a plastic container of some sort that you are able to seal.
Once you have all the necessary pieces, the process is relatively quick and simple. First, make sure you have chosen a lightweight product for your project because you are going to need to be able to pull it back in easily when you are finished. If the plastic container you have chosen does not have holes in it, you will need to make a small hole through the handle so that you can run your line through it. When making a hole, be very careful not to puncture the plastic in any other area.
After you have successfully made the hole and put the fish line through, test your creation to see whether or not it is likely to leak. It is simple to tell if a container will leak, just watch under the surface of the water and take notice of whether or not you see bubbles rising to the surface. If you see bubbles then, unfortunately your container is leaking and you will need to begin again with another type of container.
Once you are comfortable that the container you have chosen to use is going to be stable, weigh it down with either, sand, rocks or pebbles. This simply keeps it from floating to the surface on you. Remember, not to over stuff it. Though it is important that it has a bit of weight, you do not want it too heavy.
Next, turn your flashlight on, put it in the sealable bag and place it in the bottle. The plastic bag is meant to protect your flashlight, should your container begin to leak your flashlight will not come into direct contact with the water.
Close the cover snugly and make sure the fish line is still secure and lower it under water carefully. Once in the water, try not to disturb it too much because moving it might discourage your fish from coming close enough for you to catch them.
Two fishing lights are used by many fishermen. Using two at one time, within close proximity of each other will help create a larger area for attracting the fish. Remember, the types of creatures you are trying to lure are often very close to the surface so, you will want to keep your container relatively close to the surface as well.
