First, I apologize for my novice narrating skills.

Second, I'm not a frequent gigger at all but I had a generator and my son has dabbled with night crappie/catfish fishing so we decided to come up with a veratile light system for flounder and crappie just in case we had the opportunity.
My son Jordan was clever enough to modify the Fishing Lights Inc. design of a single down trunk spreading to a tee with two lights at the water line. His design uses two seperate light circuit assemblies that has several advantages
1) Does not clutter the middle of the forward deck.
2) Strap uses the same screw holes that hold the deck
3) Allows you to use just one or both lights.
4) Rotates upward out of the water for relocating our avoiding running aground.
5) Each circuit is 300 Watt 1.5 Million C.P. 4800 lumens, 25' cord with GFCI 120v plug.
The halogen lights came from www.fishinglightsetc.com ...no affiliation.
The sch 40 PVC is 1.25" and I only glued the verical weight bearing fittings to allow for tear down, storage, and adjustability.
Total cost (less generator) $170.00
I use a small Honda generator.

If you see any modifications I need, let me know. Also I'm sure this is not the first idea or original design using these lights.
Cheers,*Cheers*
