We see green fish lights most often. Many people believe that only green lights can lure fish. However, this is not true. The color of the light has no effect on the amount of fish it attracts. Although fish lights may seem to magically lure fish into the berths, this is actually an extremely complex scientific process. Aside from the fact that fish lights are visible below water level, it is possible to lure them with any type of light, no matter what color. If lights are placed underwater, some particles of water reflect back. These small particles provide bait fish with a natural food source. Once the bait fish have been lured, they will be attracted to the sun. Once the bait fish have been lured to the light, larger game fish like bass and tarpon are also attracted.
