Thanks.

As per the regs it is illegal to:

"Use artificial lights to attract fish except:
– to fish for smelt, or to fish for lake whitefish or lake herring with a dip net
– if the light is part of a lure attached to a line used in angling."

I don't know for sure but I don't see why it would be illegal.

CJR Thanks.

Noob, it's a unfair advantage for the angler. CT, LeBaron used to sell a light that you plug in and drop into the water, so long time ago it was legal. The light attracts the plankton which attracted the baitfish that would eat the plankton, then the gamefish come to feast on the baitfish.

Glad I asked before building one........lol.

I was having internet problems so I didn;t see CJR's post, otherwise I wouldn't have said that.

Cheers.

Walking Dead is ok, I missed the first season, so I don't really get the plot in season 2 and 3. Hell on Wheels is my favorite.
