Fall Fishing Is Coming: Here’s Why You Should Check Your Underwater Fishing Lights Now

Fall fishing season is almost here. Before you head out for your next nighttime fishing trip, check your underwater fishing lights — and make sure you order a replacement bulb if needed.

Summer is winding down, but the fishing season is far from over. In fact, for many anglers, the transition into fall is one of the best times of year to get back on the water.

As temperatures cool and fishing conditions change, nighttime anglers across Texas and beyond are preparing their boats, docks and fishing setups for the season ahead. If underwater fishing lights are part of your setup, there is one piece of equipment you don't want to overlook: the bulb.

A burned-out bulb can mean more than a quick equipment inconvenience. It can mean cutting a night of fishing short or realizing you don't have the replacement you need until you're already on your dock ready to cast a line.

The solution is simple: check your underwater fishing lights now and order a replacement bulbs before fall fishing season is in full swing.

Why Fall Is One of the Best Times to Go Night Fishing

Fall brings a noticeable shift to fishing conditions. As summer temperatures begin to decline, anglers start looking ahead to cooler nights, changing water conditions and increased activity on the water.

For those who enjoy night fishing, that seasonal transition is the perfect reason to take a closer look at your equipment.

Whether you're fishing a lake in Central Texas, heading out along the Gulf Coast or preparing for another season of nighttime fishing closer to home, your equipment needs to be ready before you launch.

That includes your underwater fishing light system.

Underwater fishing lights are commonly used to illuminate the water beneath and around a boat or fishing area. Keeping your system in working condition can help you avoid one of the easiest problems to prevent: showing up for a fishing trip without a working bulb.

The One Underwater Fishing Light Problem You Don't Want This Fall

Here's the part anglers often overlook: replacement bulbs.

Most people think about their rods, reels, tackle, batteries and other fishing equipment before a trip. But small replacement parts can be just as important when something goes wrong.

If one of your underwater fishing light bulbs burns out, we can get you a replacement bulb with a few days of your order. 

When Should You Replace an Underwater Fishing Light Bulb?

Not sure whether you need a new bulb for your underwater fishing lights? Before heading into fall fishing season, take a few minutes to inspect and test your system.

If a bulb is no longer functioning or shows signs of damage or wear, it may be time for a replacement.  If your bulb is covered in barnacles, check your powerbox to ensure it's humming. You may also need a new capacitor. Checking your lights can help you identify issues before your guests arrive. 

Fall fishing light checklist:

• Test your underwater fishing lights at night or cover your photocell with black, electrical tape to see if the bulb is in working order.
• Inspect bulbs and other components for visible damage or wear.
• Give us a call to make sure you order the appropriate replacement bulb for your system if a bulb needs to be replaced.
• Schedule a service call if you are in the Galveston/Houston metro area. 

Underwater Green Fishing Lights continues to offer a one-year warranty on bulbs from the date of purchase. If you're experiencing an issue with a bulb that is still within its warranty period, check the applicable warranty information, complete the warranty form online or contact Underwater Green Fishing Lights for assistance.

Rather than storing replacement bulbs indefinitely, the best approach is to inspect and test your lighting system before the fishing season and replace bulbs when needed.

What Replacement Bulbs Do I Need for My Underwater Fishing Lights?
