Using Green Led Shrimping Lights

I'm gonna try this method in the summer at night. Not sure how it will work in the river though since is so stained. Just to give it a whirl

 

Interesting -I never tried fishing for specs at night!

 

Thank you for the great advice

 

That’s good information about your light setup, I’m new to dipping and need all the help I can get, I’ve got a couple hundred invested and need to get some shrimp to justify it to momma

 

Can anyone suggest some inexpensive weights to hold the lights down? I just finished my 3 new homemade lights and after spending quite a bit on materials I do not want to drop $75 on some 5 lb pyramid weights. I have some 5 lb dumbbell weights I got from the used sporting goods store that I will try first.

 

Thanks yeah that seems to be the best option.

 

Who knew shrimping was so technical. I will definitely have to read up.

 

I use the flat plate weights. A little less clumsy than the dumbbell.

 

Very helpful and clear explanation, thanks.

 

Great question! Following for an answer...

 

Sounds like good advice, thanks for sharing!

 

Couldn’t you fill them with lead shot? As long as you glue the caps on of course...

 

I use a light up here in Pensacola around the 3 mile bridge to bring in the white trout.

Give a report on how this works out

thanks for the info on the lights. will replace my 1157's with a few and see how the work. Have net will shrimp!

Ive been using lights like these for years.
i jut hang from the boat. Sometimes it can take awhile for the bait to start to come around.

went to Gator-tough web site and could not order. Any hint about what I am doing wrong?
