Gigging with new platform...

[whitebc]

Me and a couple buddies went down the Wacissa last night to try some more gigging and Bowfishing, ended up with 6 Mullet, 5 Blacks, and 2 Cats. Not the best night on the water but fun. Home and in bed at 12:00

Here are the pics of the platform, a little overkill but it works :

A night on the Wacissa is always a good night. Glad you had a good time.

I do something like that, but with a Rod and Reel.

You'll also want to add a small trolling motor and a couple buckets to sit on. Takes a toll on your neck and shoulders, looking down and poling for 5 hours.

Here is my setup. Notice the fixed trolling motor bracket on the front right. Might go to a front railing this winter and mount the lights a couple feet off the bow. Also gonna put a platform on the back to put the generator on to get it off the floor of the boat.





The hps lights give off an amber color light.


If you have a good monitor, you can see the shrimp sitting on the flounder, about an inch behind the gills.




Two fridays ago with the new lights gigging one of Subers favorite bars.

This will make it easier to see

That's not a bad gig trip bbb. Looks like you all have that program figured out for sure. Question though, seeing your dog box in the truck, do you keep a dog with you to fetch after gigging, or just to fetch beverages? Nice setup and great trip

Nice! Where did you get your lights? Thanks!

Mind if I ask which size light and generator you use and do you have the lights wired together or separate...thanks for info!

I use a Honda eu2000 generator.
I have six of the 150 watt HPS lights with capacitors to allow them to start up quickly.
I have two, 3-way heavy duty extension cords going to the generator.

I got all my lighting ideas from this website.
