I have a hydroglow, but don't use it since I added underwater led's to my boat. Beware - they break VERY easily. Keep them away from the boat while drifting, if they bang up against it you can lose the lamp and then its big bucks to fix.
One thing we would do is to use an outrigger to hold it out away from the boat.
I've also used the small 2 foot lights. They are bright, but nowhere near the light the bigger hydroglow puts out.
Oh, and one last thing. Last year the hot bite off the beaches came with lights OFF. The headboats keyed us in to this. One night they weren't turning on their lights and they did very well. That was early season.
So be aware that sometimes, less is more. <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
