Above Water Green Fishing Lights are becoming more popular for one reason alone: they last a long time on docks and piers with ZERO maintenance. This makes them the light of choice for second homes, rental units, condominiums, investment properties, among many others. There's no argument that above water lights are the only way to have completely maintenance free fishing lights. What do we mean by maintenance? Well their counterpart (underwater fishing lights) have to be cleaned and maintained regularly to prevent growth from overtaking them (such as barnacles or algae). They also have to be checked to make sure fishing lines haven't...

Whether you're a professional or amateur, it's well known that live bait is going to give you the best opportunity to catch fish.

The primary reason people are making this switch is because the fishing lights simply last longer when they are above water and can be essentially forgotten about in terms of on-going maintenance. This especially goes for people who are considering renting their waterfront home on AirBnB or a similar service, where regular maintenance is more difficult to accomplish.
