we fortunatly run a Honda genny so the noise isnt as much of an issue as some others that i know of. Typically no one tries to quiet thier genny, its just something you get used to.

My genny is a Honda 2500

[ddolph]

what kind of lights are you running?

I run (8) 70 watt metal Halide's from batteries to inverter to lights, very quiet

[Silverman]

i run four 300watt Halo's and two 150watt High Pressure Sodiums. they will all be HPS lights next season. I love my gennerator, i try to avoid batteries at all costs, they are just a pain in the neck in my opinion. I have two on my boat for my troller and thats it.

[gooseski72]

why would you go to hps? they are a yellow light. not good . did you shoot that big one in your pict on mikes boat?

[Silverman]

i love the orange glow of the HPS lights, makes seeing fish in muddy water MUCH easier. they are a great light!

[ddolph]

How would you compare MH to HPS in clear and in muddy water?

Thanks

Thanks

To be honest with you ive never used a MH light. Ive only used Halogen and HPS... however ive heard that MH is also a white light similar to Halo's. In that case my HPS i have far more penetration into the water, both muddy and clear, so i can see deeper in clearer water and more fish in shallower muddy water. overall, i gett better performance. Another plus that i found is that i get a lot of reflection from the white lights off of cattails and grasses above the water and with the orange HPS light you dont get that reflection back at you and its easier on the eyes.

only draw back so far with HPS is the 1-2 minute warm-up time.

do you get that big one in your pict of trotters boat? you going out this week for the last this season. whet today shot 10. the carp were in real good.
