Now that I've calmed myself down a bit... two more questions... have any of you used the Cyalume light sticks for fishing at night (as opposed to a head lamp or flashlight)? It appears they have a clip so you can hook them onto a tube or a vest/waders.... [/reply]
Here is my 2 cents on Cyalume sticks. Last year I used them a few times. The ones I got were only 1 1/2'' long and very skinny. I took a small piece of tubing that they fit into snugly and taped them to all of my poles that I used for night fishing. Every night I went out I just pulled the old stick and put a new one in. The ones I got were on ebay and were very cheap I think about $10.00 total for over 100 sticks. The red ones are not as visible as the green or yellow ones. But they make great night time strike indicators.
I still used a headlamp when the fish came on board and I had to rebait my hooks but its nice not to have a bright light beaming all the time.
