Creepy light story...

Out at Naps, the point... VERY FOGGY.

I have a head light, and a neck light.

For NO reason the neck light turns on. I turn it off.

a little later it goes on again... I turn it off.

a minute or two later it starts flashing. I cannot turn it off.
I bang it a few times... It goes off.

Again, it turns on and I cannot get it to go out. Now I'm getting creeped out.

I decide to take out the batteries. My greatest fear is that the light will stay on...

It doesn't. Fish the rest of the tide a little unsettled, but no worse for the wear.


I swear, If that light had stayed on I would have crapped myself.

"head" light around the neck, mini mag on a lanyard as backup, extra batteries for both just in case of the dreaded double failure.

Head lamp around the neck and a Princeton Tec light on a lanyard, with a spare Princeton Tec in the plug bag.

Head lamp around my neck. That is all.


I like to live dangerously.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan
