Hi has anyone been spearfishing at night?... i bought a lamp it might be a bit too powerfull but its just an idea of buying a underwater bag and putting the lamp inside the lamp is 5,000,000 candle power, wat do you think of that as an idea good/bad?..im getting a underwater torch soon but do you think the big lamp would be a good idea?
 

I have a few buddies that scuba at night and use a big light, but they are hunting lobsters and not fish. Because mainly roam only at night it's pretty much the only way to get consistant numbers. They use the light to temporary blind the lobsters then reach down and grab them.

I have seen a few situations where fish are attracted to light, but in so cal you mainly attack squid, and that's not always the best thing to do!
 
it depends where u are hunting and what u are hunting. if its a nocturnal fish, try to hunt at a full moon, fish are somehow more active and you dont have to rely on ur torche as heavily. if its a reef you should be able to find a large amount of nocturnal fish, so dont pick off the ones that are asleep, its just not right.
 
Mate just read through the Guernsey thread - you will find every thing you will ever need to know. Or send a pm to Old MAN DAVE.
