While you don't have the current flow driving shrimp to you at Tidelessville, but you have wind and structure all around the RRB.That, and fish. If you sink your lights very deep, they will swim over your lightsm and the trout and drum will see the shrimp and go for them, because the shrimp are lighted with your shrimp light bulbs.
This is not true for the LEDgreenies. The LED light pattern is a fat disk of lightcreated by the spiral wrap of the LEDs. However, each LED's light amount given off is dependent on your eye position relative to the LED. As your eye position moves from the directly overhead position to a 60 deg postion, the amount of light given off is only 50% of the directly overhead position. As you move towards even larger angles, the light given off diminishes even faster towards no light. The water clarity reduces the disk size. Dirtier water, smaller disk size. The top and bottom of the LED light also have an ice cream cone shapezone of darknessm with the pointed ends of the cone starting starting at the top and bottom. By the time the dark cones reach the limit the LED ligh can travel, the cone of darkness is as big as 1/4 the size of the overall disk size. This dark cone is the "sweet spot" of the light field. The visible diamerter of the light is the entire "kill zone" of the light.
Bear with me on this eaxample.
Your light field diameter is a disk 20 feet in diameter.
Your light is set 6 feet below the surface.
Your "kill zone" starts at the water surface and it is dark for the whole light disk to about 3 feet below the surface, where water illumination begins to light the shrimp.
Your "sweet spot" is about 3 feet in diameter, and reaches down to the top of the illuminated water.
Shrimp close to the surface will not be illuminate, may even swim directly into your pre positioned intercept spot. Too late, he's yours. He may even swim directly over your light without changing direction.
Shrimp above the light field are not spotted by fish below the light field. Below the light field, they are subject to predetor fish, and may even pup up in the light field all of a sudden.
Shrimp at the 6 foot level will encounter the light field and try to rim run the light or move up or down in the water column.
Can you set up a Shrimp Herding" set up similar to OH - sure you can, but it may not work as efficiently due to lack of strong tidal currents.
The LEDgreenie concept is about 22 months old since my inception, and there is still a lot to learn, so I appreciate every report involving its use.
