How Do Underwater Lights Attract Fish?

While a lot of us are attracted to a pretty face and a good sense of humor, fish are a little bit different. To attract fish, you have to recreate their food chain. The beautiful marine food chain starts with plants. Plants like mangroves, marsh grasses, and marine algae all produce their own food through photosynthesis. They also provide food for other organisms living in their environment.

The next link in the food chain are the Primary Consumers. This group includes zooplankton, phytoplankton, mayfly nymphs, and more. These primary consumers get their food from our friendly neighborhood plants. The next group is called Secondary Consumers. This group includes small fish like mullet. These guys feed on the primary consumers and other plant life.

The next group is the Top Predators group. This group includes large fish like snook, tarpon, redfish, and much more. These are the types of fish most people want to see at their dock. Top predators eat all of the other smaller fish around like mullet, shrimp, etc.

So How Do You Get The Fish To Show Up?

So, as with any chain, if one link breaks, everything falls apart. If you don’t have each piece of this chain by your dock, you’re not going to see those predator fish that are so fun to watch and catch.

The best way to attract fish to your dock is by enhancing the natural environment in your waterway. Dock Lights are a great way to do this rather quickly. When you place a dock light (also known as fish light or snook light) in the water, it starts the process of attracting fish immediately. The light bulb reflects off the microorganisms like phytoplankton in the water. With this extra illumination, the primary and secondary consumers start flooding your light. Within a few days, you’ll start to see more activity at your light. As time goes on, you’ll see more and more species of fish get attracted to the light. Now all you need to do is just relax and enjoy your new natural aquarium!
