Felix Martell dio you fish at night much , it's great in the sometime , I appreciate you watching brother

I do for cats. Been trying to learn how to catch crappie. Any pointers on how to catch'em?

KYnightstalker thanks for watching my friend

Thank you very much . They have come a long way lol . I cringe watching the ones from 5 or 6 years ago lol

The Texas Road Runner yes Sir thank you for watching bro

Man you know how to give a guy da big head lolol I'm jk. I appreciate brother I like helping ppl and I really enjoy utube , thank you so much for watching Sir

Thanks for your support brother lol

I use red out of the water if you dont want to kill your night vision, ppl use blue lights in the ocean they say it penetrates the water better , in fresh water I think green works better for plankton I'm not sure why but I have white lights that work very well too . But most fresh water lakes have algae in them so the white lights put off a green hue any way , I made my DIY light green because that seems to be the most popular color for fresh water but I've used white more myself . I dont think you can go wrong with white or green , but striped bass fishermen have told me that white distresses the fish more than blue or green so it makes sense to use green I guess . I'm not a scientist though haha , I appreciate you watching brother . If you ever have anything to add to a subject feel welcome to leave a comment, thank you for watching buddy

I've never thought of it . I guess it would have to be tested

I think it's going to last because I ran the same lights down the length of my kayak one year and it worked great and they aren't protected plus my old light still works fine and I broke the polypropylene not long after making it , I made it 3 years ago

Also I'm going to make a new kayak light that can be removed, it's idea ive have for some time now. I'l be posting that before long a little closer to spring time

Not with a battery built into the light , but I use mine from docks a lot . All you need is a kayak battery

Like this one www.amazon.com/dp/B00K8V2Y8W/ref=cm_sw_r_other_taa_n7GzFbZQ3Y9RV

True, but 21600 batteries are 5lb lighter. Is there such thing as too much light?

@@cacawcacaw6280 I would think so

Cordless is a good idea , but why would you want to dim it ?

@@FishinNStuff think bout this. You could have a backpack light that you can use in the water or on the bank and that's when the damage switch will come and play so if you want a little light or a lot

No Sir but that's an interesting idea

I did how ever put lights under my kayak one time , and that eas pretty cool but I took em off

Its 12v so you can run it of your trolling motor battery, and its 16' may have been a 5050 but im not positive that video is older . But I made a few of em and they all worked good

Hahaha that's funny , thank you Sir appreciate you commenting brother

This video explains its . I hit asked lot of questions about the light doi I made this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sP-ZbVfhZmU.html

ReBro thank you for watching it I appreciate it , and thanks for commenting I like to know what ppl think good or bad

Actually the First light was 12v as well but that is a good idea I've never thought about making one that runs off of 110v . I might have to do that

It shouldn't over heat its LEDs . If the water proof LEDs over heated it would melt the waterproof coating

I used a kayak battery , this was the plug I used Allstar Performance ALL76232 Universal Two Wire Connector with 12" Loop www.amazon.com/dp/B003C01FD6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_bEeyEbPJ0P206

Ive thought about that before, but it's still an extra step and it works great with our it I like learning it off , I use to just run the light steps down the bottom of my kayak lol

Thank u for the idea they are so much cheaper

HARGAR Plays just be careful not to drop them below 15ft. The water pressure below 15ft will cause them to start cracking longways from end to end. I’ve started using 1-1/4” clear vinyl tubing. Not the braided type, just clear. Home Depot sells precut 3ft for $7.00. The 1-1/2” pvc sch40 caps fit perfectly over the outside of tube. Seal with heavy duty grade pvc cement and seal outer rim with Marine plastic epoxy.

No I haven't, I order mine off Amazon . They were low 10 dollars . The link maybe in the description box

That's a good idea too

I use green on my videos because it's traditionally the color most people use . But ive used white and green and I can't really tell any difference

No Sir thre light is totally waterproof. Just the ends needs to be water proofed

Sorry. I just hooked it up to a battery and they came on so I’m guessing just cover the ends of the wire?

Its just on there so you can cut the light in half and make 2 if you want . So you obviously don't need em so just cut em off itll still work as a one piece light

It might if it's dark or at least has dark water around it . All it does is attract the plankton

SK's CRAPPIE Catchn Adventures thank you brother I appreciate you my friend , when you are the crappie king you don't have to sneak up on em at night like I do hehe

Fishin N Stuff 😃🤣😂😁😅😄..... No that's funny right there.... You be wacking'um too and stay cool while doing it.....

Spring time is with out a doubt my favorite time to crappie fish . But the light works year round , the clips on this video were from last April ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sP-ZbVfhZmU.html

Thank you sir! Will be trying to build one of these tonight!

Any time Its not that hard man . I appreciate you watching brother

Your exactly right man you don't need the silicon I once used it so the lead weights wouldn't rattle around and I didnt need it so I just put it all in there lol , I did use heat shrink though , I was just over killing it because I made it for a buddy , but for idea is cheaper . That's why I didn't use an outside cover . Is cheaper and not really any point in it

Ol and thanks for commenting and pointing that out brother

You can do it either way i just hook mine up to my trolling motor battery

Ron Burgundy that light took the whole 16' roll you could make 2 shorter lights if you wanted to, hey check back by or click the bell I'm doing another light kind of like it soon but different, thanks for watching brother

Dang ive never been told I look like singer lol but thank you , I think all those LED strip lights may stop work after a while , I only say that cause they all come from China now days , and white works good too so don't hesitate to use em , I just used green because that's what most pol use . I have a white light I use too.. I might do some different kinds of videos but I may start a new channel for em I really appreciate you brother👍

Thank you Sir I aim too please hehe , that's a way better light for fishing than that rechargeable one you can just hook it to your boat battery

That's Brite. I have a new video about a green light i made that's better

Yes Sir hope it helped ya out

Ever use that light (without poly tube) in saltwater?

Weekend warrior outdoors thanks I appreciate that and you watching

ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery Bought it off Amazon , they work great for kayaks and last all night

Nice know I have another project.

Amazon

Dang it man . Me and you need to be friends haha that's an awesome thing ti do brother

Tell em to go watch the how to use a green light video lol

It still works great all the videos I have where I'm green light fishing was made using that light , bait livewell, the how to use a green light video plus the one where I made it . And I gave it to a friend that's on the videos with me and he uses it now , still works good . The only trouble you can really have is , if your soldering is bad or if the lights no good . Let's face it they all come from China and I have had em stop working. So read the reviews on the light your thinking about buying , thank you for watching brother

@@FishinNStuff Cool man thanks for your response. Soldering skills are good but them China lights that's another story. Thanks to you and for what your doing to brother

That should work good , do you have one 24v battery or 2 12v batteries. If you have 2 batteries you can just hook your light to one of em th that's what I do .

Could you put a cigarette adapter on the end or USB if your boat has the plugs!

I don't see why not , that would work or you could change out the cigarette type and put a USB type cause a lot of the LED light come with USB plus nowadays

Thanks, love the channel! Look forward to watching your diy's.

@@maherphine I really appreciate you watching , thank you Sir

Yep I agree , it worked good ended up a lil heavy filling the whole tube with silicone lol

They are still a little pricey for a good one . Ive got a good idea for a new one I'm gonna do soon

Turns out shouldn't be making videos in my neighbors pool lol I guess lol

@@FishinNStuff 😂🤣😅😆😁😁😆😅🤣😂

Thank you Ron

No Sir but my lights aren't on in a boat so they don't get out in the water as much might be why , I only use lights mostly in the spring , occasionally in the summer ti catch bait

No Sir you could use 3" technically the bigger the pvc the shorter the light which is not necessarily a bad thing . Thanks for watching brother

I used 2" & it turned out great.

I would say after making it 6 to 8 is plenty to keep the bottom on the bottom . The silicone adds a Good bit of weight to it . I just didn't want it to float like the first one I made . I hook it to a cleat at the depth I want it

I can , you can also use glow sticks on em and hi can use jugs with glow sticks in em . But it makes it easier for other ppl to find and steal I find

Yes Sir it will work great , that's all a kayak battery , ive used em . Sometimes I just hook it up to my trolling motor battery too

It was plenty and no I don't want it to float so I can pick the level I suspend it at

That light is a 12v . I also made another light that's 24v . It's cool too

They are very expensive , but they aren't that hard to make . How long they last I've found , depends on how good the LEDs are you buy . I buy a LED strip that looks well made yet I don't spend a lot either . So look around on Amazon and hey something decent. Thank you for watching and commenting

No Sir no need at all , the light I made in this video has been used allot with no issues at all , so save yourself some money , the first one I made the clear tube coat 10 dollars , I'm glad i tried it lol , thank you for watching brother

muddyrivercatfishing thanks bro

I really appreciate that , im working on a new light video , a little dissect idea

I do the same thing lol it might work man , I just left out the clear tube because the last one I bought 3 years ago was like 10 or 12 dollars and it really does work just as good without it as long as you stop water from getting to the wires and causing corrosion issues the light has a silicone type coating on it when you buy it

That could work

Just some cheap wire I found at lowes almost anything with work , the LED lights hardly pulls any power

@@FishinNStuff thanks

Yes Sir your welcome . My first one I ever made I used an old dropcord . I just said use speaker wire because you can find it cheap

That's a great idea buddy

Lol thank you for watching , those ol dancing crappie are the best ti eat lol . I typically just use a white light a lot of the time but most ppl use green so I made a green one

I think you could modify it and use any light as long as the final product is waterproof, you'll be good

Thanks, cool videos !!!

I'm not sure How the LEDs will react to salt water they might be ok they are covered with silicone, but in the salt water I would use Blue or white lights

I wrapped the lights first then when you get too the end of your light strip , cut the pipe and leave just enough pipe to glue the cap on

Clear heat shrink is a good idea , the tubes for florescent lights they sell at Homedepot wood work too . I bought better lights off Amazon, I've had bad luck too buying the cheapest lights I could find I look st the reviews on stuff more now . I can't remember the exact brand Its been a year since i made that video , I'm sorry

@@FishinNStuff I appreciate it. Keep up the good videos.

This is what I use it weighs maybe 2 lbs and I've ran the light 8 hours and it didn't go dead ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery www.amazon.com/dp/B003S1RQ2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IFUhEb34P96CR

You thank me later lol . Jk , but really those are the way too go I run my hummingbird helix 7 with it too , you'll never know it's on board it's like 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches big

Fishin N Stuff thanks so much. I don’t have a boat but plan to drop the light on a dock or pier. I watched a video with you mentioning a blue light could better but I can’t find it? Tons of videos of everyone with green light not blue

@@ChuckNorris01 blue lights do better and are typically use in salt water , in fresh water I use white ourr green . Those are the best for fresh water

Fishin N Stuff thank you so much. Keep the vids coming

It doesn't float

I'm not sure you could try one , i use a 12v kayak battery , as long as its getting 12v i would say it wouldn't matter , sometimes I hook it up to my trolling motor battery

Thank you Danny I appreciate your comments brother . And your right the underwater LED fishing light would make a great light for seeing with too . It's basically the same thing as the NAV light I made with a switch . And they don't use a lot of power I run both of these on kayak batteries the small ones

@@FishinNStuff ok I'm gonna look one up there so bright be great to make 2 on poles to put around my trailer I sit and lay on while fishing. Or out side my truck while fishing glad I seen this. Thanks bro. God bless

@@FishinNStuff and sorry I write so much. Lol

Chris Hodskins normally I put it about 2 - 3 feet under the water , I made another video for ppl that had questions about light fishing you should watch it buddy I appreciate you watching and I'll help you any way I can , here's the link to the other video where I actually use the same light I made on this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sP-ZbVfhZmU.html

P.S. I am wondering if coating the finished IP67 lights with clear polyeurothane to add additional waterproofing. I don't seem to find a source for polypropylene tubing.

Mine was about 2 foot , you can trim the light strip or the PVC of needed though

Fishin N Stuff awesome. One more question. Does the weights make the light stand up vertically? I thought about adding pieces of pool noodle to mine to make it stand vertically. Are those not needed?

@@chanceehuiet if you don't add the weights the first one i made floated on its side so I learned to weight the bottom so it stands up , I add a lot of weight so mine will stand up and sink . Because it i want it at the top of the water I can do it or if I want it 3 foot under the water I can do that too . If you want it to float and stand up add the weights and a pool noodle . But with just a pool noodle I don't think itll float correctly. I usually put mine about 2 foot deep then tie it to my cleat

Yeah my plan was to add 6 ounces like you did in silicon on the bottom then a piece of pool noodle on top. I added an eye bolt and some paracord with a crab trab float so I can adjust how deep I want to put it and get it out away from the boat some.

I use a kayak battery, they last a long time I've ran em 8 hours and they didnt fo dead ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery www.amazon.com/dp/B003S1RQ2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_S679EbGXDTWGV

Fishin N Stuff thank you... that seems like it will be a whole lot easier to tote around.

Actually the light won't bring in any fish the light attracts plankton , which attracts the shad and other bait fish and that attracts the fish , so yes it can attract catfish, but most people uses em for crappie. I made a video better explaining how they work ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-sP-ZbVfhZmU.html

ExpertPower 12V 7 Amp EXP1270 Rechargeable Lead Acid Battery www.amazon.com/dp/B003S1RQ2S/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_vM4jEbHNZQZCY

That's the battery I use on my kayak and I was using it in the video , when I'm on my boat I just hook it up too one of my trolling motor batteries

Yes Sir thank you for watching em brother , ok and they do work great lol

guttercops one of the lights I ordered did , I've use these strip lights on several different DIYs I've made , and yep I cut the plug off and stripped the wires and inside was a red and black wire and you can figure it out from there . I appreciate you watching my video even more than you appreciate me making it lol thank you brother and if you have any questions I'll be happy to answer em pr find you an answer

guttercops hey this video right here , on the part with the light in the water and the shad circling it, that's the light I made on this video

@@FishinNStuff Thank you Brother!! man that answer came in at light speed! Awesome. I def hit the subscribe button. What part of America are you in? FL here.

That's a good idea , I just used silicone in both ends pretty thick

It's always good to have around to seal bolts water tight and other uses plus you can get it cheaply

Thank you Mate

That's the problem with all those Chinese lights , there hit and miss

No Sir LED strips don't really get hot

They work great , I appreciate you watching Sir more than you know
