Red light seems to be a whole different scenario though as long as it isnt too bright a light and allows you to see just well enough to rig line and or cut bait yet rarely spooks fish then TURN it back off. Its the same thing when you gather night crawlers for fresh water fishing which is seldom done these days anymore what with bait shops and all the new rubber worms.
when you shine a red light on WORMS they might move slow or not at all, but use a white light and they bolt in an instant. The same held true when i would feed bread to Red foxes out in the backyard. As for idiot non- fishermen or looky lou's who just want spot light everything with their headlights, they have no buisness screwing up the fishing for the people who have spent hours preparing and waiting on the conditions to be just right.
Red light !!
