Attraction: Underwater Fishing Lights Are Like a Deer Feeder Under Water

If you’ve ever hunted deer, you know the power of attraction. You set up a feeder, scatter corn, and wait. It doesn’t take long before the deer come out of the woods, drawn by the promise of an easy meal.

Now take that idea—and drop it in the water.

That’s exactly what underwater green fishing lights do. They’re not just lights. They’re underwater feeders. Fish magnets. A glow-up for your night fishing game.

Let’s break down how this works—and why smart anglers use light the same way hunters use feed: to attract the right target to the right place at the right time.

The Power of Light = The Power of Food

Fish, like deer, are driven by food. But in the underwater world, it all starts with the smallest players: plankton.

When you drop a green fishing light into the water, the glow does two things:

  1. Penetrates deep and wide, thanks to green’s superior visibility in both fresh and saltwater.

  2. Attracts plankton, who treat the light like a front porch party.

Those plankton attract baitfish like shad, minnows, and mullet—who come in to feed on the microscopic buffet. And right behind them? Game fish. Your game fish.

Just like deer get used to a feeder as a food source, fish start to associate the glow of your light with feeding time. They remember. They return. They bring friends.

It’s All About the Food Chain

Here’s how the underwater “feeder” works, layer by layer:

  • Light turns on.

  • Plankton swarm the glow.

  • Baitfish gather to feed on the plankton.

  • Predators close in, ready to ambush the baitfish.

  • You cast at the edge, right where the action is.

It’s like creating a pop-up food truck in the middle of the lake. Fish come from all directions, drawn by the buffet. And you're holding the only menu.

Why Green? It’s Not Just for Looks.

We get this question a lot: Why green and not blue or white?

It comes down to physics and biology:

  • Green light travels farther in water than any other color, especially in murky or stained water.

  • It’s the wavelength that attracts zooplankton, which kicks off the whole chain reaction.

  • It’s also a wavelength that doesn’t spook fish—unlike white light, which can be harsh and unnatural underwater.

So yeah, you could think of green light as the corn. The fish can’t resist it, and once they find it, they stick around.


Consistency Is Key

Just like a feeder in the woods, underwater fishing lights work best with a little consistency.

If you use your light at the same dock, pier, or cove night after night, the fish will start showing up like clockwork. You’re training them—just like deer get trained to come out at sunset for a snack.

Think of your fishing light like a scheduled feeding station. The more you use it, the more reliable the results.

Ideal Setups for “Feeder” Style Fishing

Whether you’re on a boat, dock, or kayak, you can set up your own version of an underwater feeding zone.

🛶 From a Boat or Kayak

  • Drop the light overboard and let it sink to your target depth.

  • Stay anchored or drift slowly to work the area around the light.

  • Let the bait gather for 15–30 minutes before you cast.

🧓 From a Dock or Pier

  • Drop the light near your pilings or favorite casting zone.

  • Watch the water: first plankton, then bait, then predators.

  • Fish just outside the glow for ambush-ready strikes.

🌌 Night After Night

  • Use the same spot consistently.

  • Fish will begin to associate your light with food and return regularly.

  • Bring your favorite chair and get ready for some repeat customers.

It's Not Just Fishing—It’s Feeding

A lot of night fishing gear promises to “attract fish.” But most of it stops at visibility or surface-level light.

The Drop Light from Underwater Green Fishing Lights goes further. It acts like a true feeding hub—built for performance, longevity, and the kind of attraction that works every time you plug it in.

It’s not just about seeing in the dark. It’s about drawing fish to you.


Bonus: No Mess, No Sound, No Fuss

Unlike a deer feeder, your fishing light doesn’t need batteries, feed, or maintenance. You just plug it in and let it do its thing.

  • No need to refill anything.

  • No noise to scare off the fish.

  • No scent or spill to clean up.

  • Just a waterproof, reliable glow that brings the fish to you.

That’s a win-win-win.


Want to Try It?

Whether you’re a dockside night owl or a boat-bound weekend warrior, it’s time to upgrade your strategy. You don’t need sonar. You don’t need luck.

You need a little green light and a whole lot of baitfish.

Final Cast: The Feeder That Works 20 Feet Down

We all know that good hunting and good fishing come down to one thing: attraction. You can’t shoot what doesn’t show up. You can’t catch what doesn’t bite.

Underwater green fishing lights—especially high-performance ones like the Drop Light—aren’t just tools. They’re underwater feeders. They start the cycle. They bring the bait. And they help you turn an average night into a record-breaking one.

So next time you gear up, remember:

It’s not just light. It’s lure.
It’s not just glow. It’s strategy.
It’s not just fishing. It’s like setting a deer feeder—under water.
