Mmmm, well, i've done my share of baiting shrimp, sein netting, etc..... I don't know how much of a difference it would really make. When we bait shrimp, it's usually in about 5' of water (once the tide moves out) or so. Nothing deep. I use a double leaded cast net that is taped in a strategic way(old shrimpers trick) as to keep the net open during it's decent. It's on bottom in a max of 2 seconds, and not many shrimp escape my set up. Most shrimpers in the area do it in the same way. Honestly, i'm gone to sien netting in the creeks. No messy baits, and in a couple pulls, you're good. I dunno, just my two cents.
Besides, what are you going to use for a light? Glow sticks would work, zip tie a few on there. But if the light is on the ends, then the target won't be attracted "in" the net. You'd have to mount a light source on the center ring of the cast net. That would be easy. Manufacture a cast net with a glow in the dark center ring. Hold it under the deck lights of the boat for a few seconds before you make a cast, and you've got a light in the center of the net. How's that for input? LOL
