Posts: 36 10/28/11 04:37 AM Captain USCG Licensed EDGEWATER	Tags : None I'm currently assembling a new gigging light setup for the front of my 15' Sundance skiff. I was curious as to what everyone else has for a setup. I was considering building some LED tubes to put on the front of my boat, however I have a pile of old star lights laying around in the garage and also was considering rigging them up on the ends of a split-style PVC rig. I was curious as to what the other flounder giggers around here had for a setup, ideas, pics? I'm running off batteries but was also considering a small generator to save the headache of recharging all the time.. I had googled "build your own flounder lights" and came across this http://www.fishinglightsetc.com/Flounderlight3.html which seemed like a pretty decent idea for something removable I could do with my older star lights.. With the plethora of other fisherman here I would imagine there is a wide array / variety of light setups, lets see! Last Edited By: edgewater37 10/28/11 04:40 AM. Edited 1 time.

The starfires give off a nice radial glow, but use alot of battery. When I bring someone with me, I use both, but prefer the led. Remember, that unlike the starfire, the ledis very directional, so you need to mount it in the direction you will be gigging.

Posts: 599 10/28/11 12:05 PM SPONSOR Resident Engineer LED GREENIE	Take a look at my post on the LEDgigger™ Pro light and how it's mounted. http://leenoga.com/reply/38676/LEDGreenie-com-Releasing-LED-Gig-Light-Pro-Series-PRE-ORDER#reply-38676 Mike has the most experience in using this new type of lighting, since he and I test the original, and first ever LED gigging light built to my knowledge. This prototype light was a 29 watt light in a 4' housing, bungee corded to Mike's rig, so we could do an A / B comparion under the same conditions. We both were astounded by the difference in distance you could see and clarity of this experimental light. Mike has used a newer 2 foot version on his boat the past few months, so he is the most experienced user of the LEDgigger™ Pro light by far. Pete Purchase the ledgreenie™ Pro HERE !

Its likely you'll be deep on one side of the boat and you'll gig the shallow side in most areas, so the other side wouldn't help much. Wishin uses one up front and one off the side and does darn good! Edgewater

I have never gigged before so I have no idea Thanks for yout purchase of the LEDgigger™ Pro light. You can do OK with one light. When searching flounders, the light should shine from the boat to the shore line in the shallow water areas, The light itself should be just a couple inches below the surface, and where you are standing. You need to adjust/rotate the direction the light to light up the bottom as far way from the boat as possible. What you are looking for is a small area of the bottom that just looks "different" from the rest of the bottom. Flounder will "bury up" in the slightest bottom depressin and camophlage them selves by covering themselves for protection and to ambush unwary bait swimming by just inches away. They don't really spook by the gig light. If you did not get one of the fliers I made up for the light, email me and i'll send you one as a PDF file. ledgreenie @ cfl dot rr dot com Use no spaces and replace dot with the punctuation mark.
