Night fishing ?

[Troll]

A lantern dosn't shine directly into the water enough and will also light up your movements. We use them but inside a reflector box built of wood scraps, spray adhesive and alum foil. It does OK at aiming the light downward and if you stay behind the box the fish will not see your movements. The best thing I have come up with for Ice fishing lights is a 3 to 5 cell Mag-lite. Cut a hole slightly smaller than the lens end of the Mag in a piece of 1/2" ply and your done. Set the plywood down over a cleared ice hole next to your fishing hole and set the maglight down on the board pointing into the depths. Adjustable beam width, points right at your lure/bait, and the flashlight is always right there at hand. You can even tape a colored filter on if you want.
