How long after putting the lights on before the bait fish showed up
You ether gon’a have to move the light out on a pole or cut a hole in the boat bottom to fish thru!
It takes about an hour or two for the fish to show up in numbers. So you better be prepared to wait it out for a while. I am going to try and figure a way to get the lights away from both sides, and put them on the same side about 10 foot from the boat. perfect distance for a cast net and fishing.

I don’t think I would go through all that to get your lights away from the boat. You don’t want to necessarily cast to the light itself. If you had your camera out away from the boat and looking back you would see just as much bait 360 around the light. You are better off casting from the boat to the outter perimiter of the light than finding a way to hold your light away from the boat and casting your net at lt.
We only took a couple of throws the other night, but this was one and the light is hanging right off the side of the boat.

Darn Tim, thats pretty good. I wished I had tried that the other night. I could not see any fish but my lights were 6 feet or so down.

Tim had the lights just at the surface and it was really quite impressive how many bait fish it brought in and how well they worked! I would also agree, having the lights closer to the boat seems like it would be less hassle and less work. IMO.

My fish finder was going off like crazy, I should have trusted that the bait was there. We left , because we had no live bait left and the wind. Oh yes that wind was terrible.

there are probably 10 lighted docks/points/areas in Jakes cove alone that hold bait after dark or before daylight so you pretty much always can find bait there…and fish too…
