white light will most assuredly kill your night vision, and it will take your eyes approximately 45 minutes to recover.

i don't understand folks who are going to the beach with the newer surefire (or similar) high output diode lithium-battery powered flashlights.

these are combat gunfighting lights designed for home defense, law enforcement, and military use. they are OVERKILL for night fishing.

a simple mini-maglite does the job.

and guess what ... if you put a red filter lens on it, you won't kill your night vision.
