Newport Harbor, 1/9/16 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

do kayaks need the bow lights also or just a white stern light? I guess I need to put lights on mine also. I don't know how enthused I am about winter night fishing but I love fishing at night in the summer time. Kayaks are hard enough to see anyway so I wonder what lights we do need. Ed, if you're thinking about Thursday I might be on that also.

Just a white light. I have heard some argue that red/green isn't a good idea as it gives other boaters the impression that you are under power.

I'll keep you posted Harry.

From what I've read, kayaks are required to have a white light that is visible from 360° when it is dark.
