From the experts at Ultimate Green Lights – The Leader in Underwater Fishing Lights and Dock Lighting Solutions
There’s something special about slipping a line into the water under the stars, waiting quietly in the still night for the tug of a catfish. But if you’re looking to turn that peaceful pastime into a serious haul, there’s one tool that can take your night fishing game to the next level: a green submersible light.
At Ultimate Green Lights, we’ve spent years engineering and perfecting the most effective underwater lighting systems for anglers across the country. Our customers—whether fishing from docks, boats, or the bank—often ask us: Does green light really make a difference when catfishing at night?
The answer is yes—and here’s why.
Why Green Light Works for Catfish
Green light, especially in the 520-540 nanometer range (which our lights are specifically tuned to), penetrates water better than any other visible color. This wavelength attracts plankton and other microorganisms, which in turn draw in baitfish. And where baitfish gather, catfish are never far behind.
Unlike more aggressive species, catfish are scavengers by nature. But at night, when vision is limited, the subtle glow of green light creates a feeding zone they can’t resist. It’s not just about visibility—it’s about establishing an underwater ecosystem right beneath your setup.
Our Lights Are Built for Serious Night Anglers
Not all submersible lights are created equal. Our signature Ultimate Green Submersible Lights are engineered to:
- Run silently and cool for hours without overheating
- Withstand harsh freshwater and saltwater conditions with durable, sealed casings
- Emit a high-lumen green glow that’s proven to draw baitfish faster and hold them longer
- Plug and fish—with easy-to-use options for boats, docks, or drop-line deployment
We’ve tested these lights in lakes, rivers, and coastal waters. Whether you’re targeting blue cats, channel cats, or flatheads, the results speak for themselves: more bites, bigger fish, and a better night on the water.
Pro Tips for Catfishing with Green Lights
To get the most out of your green submersible light, follow these tried-and-true tips from our seasoned team and loyal customers:
- Drop the light early: Give it 15–30 minutes to attract baitfish before you start fishing.
- Anchor near structure: Catfish love cover—logs, rocks, or submerged brush.
- Keep it close to the bottom: Catfish feed low, so suspend your bait just off the lakebed for best results.
- Use cut bait or stink bait: Once the light draws them in, scent does the rest.
- Stay quiet and patient: Night catfishing rewards the angler who’s willing to wait.
