Underwater camera question
 
Do I want white lights or IR lights. Won't be fishing after dark. I am a little afraid the white lights will spook fish.

Why do you need lights if not fishing after dark?

My experience is with IR lights on a cheap Eyoyo camera. They work out of the water but not in the water since the water has too much stuff in it.

I think IR lights are not visible lights and such they might be legal, unfortunately they're not working for me.

I would agree with the other posters. Lights on an underwater camera don’t do much besides make all the particulate in the water light up, obscuring things even more.

Yeah I run mine with no IR lights on as like mentioned it’s like the asteroid’s game.

They are great pieces of gear to watch how fish act/respond etc

Can you legally use the light in a fish camera , isn't that considering attracting?

It Is Unlawful To: Use lights to sportfish unless the light is attached to a hook or
line used in angling. This includes visible lights that are emitted
by underwater cameras.

Thanks guys, it just seems that every camera has lights.

You can turn them off.

I never bother with them. The few times I've used them they limited visibility to almost nothing.
