Im really glad that you wrote about this, because I was just going to rant about what a stupid product it is & how I couldn’t even be bothered to read the entire page because of the grotesque HTML.

Besides Ive already ranted about PETA and called the guy in the fishing simulator a tool.

Good job.

I actaully read about 90% of it then just skipped to the bottom. Im just astonished that people will buy something without even seeing what it is!

You mean you weren’t left feeling like it was a secret you absolutely have to know? So much that youre willing to hand over your hard earned money?

Oh wait, thats scientology..

Yeah, I linked to this site from a well-known Florida fishing website, which really dissappointed me since they are usually legit. My conclusion also was that it must be a light, and doing a little research on their claim about it being banned, both of the states where they claimed that it is banned prohibit using any kind of light at night.

So its just a light? Why, then it isn’t a secret. Thats bull, i got excited for nothing. Well i have one of those light things. They dont do much, nothing like that guy was promising.

Nobody seems to knows for sure, but by its description it sounds like a high powered light!

I thought the whole thing was a scam, They tell you nothing on the site about how it works, and it’s only $200 !! GIve me a Break!!!!

i gave that guy with the EVENING SECRET a piece of my mind selling a light surounded in styrofoam for $200. That bro must be on his rag. go pick one up at waterdog willie, bass pro, cabelas, or any other local fishing supplier will have them in stock. they do work well for night fishing espiecaily in dessert lakes./

retail value of the Evening secret at above retailer should be $20-30 bucks.

am from the uk so by stickin a light in the water does it actualy atract fish of all sizes or just little insects ……..

Great site, Excellent photo’s
Evening Secret haha
Glad I read this blog and didn’t order it…
I buy everything I can for fishing it is actually a serious problem…

Thanks again,
Ben

A guy at work was telling me about the evening secret and how great it was. so i thought i would check it out. what a scam i got a crappie light that does the same thing. That guy is an asshole anyway i’m gonna tell him its great and see if he actually buys it. haha

I heard it was a green light. I dunno if that makes a difference.

The looooong website finally states that it works better at night or early morning. It must be interesting to see it’s results at high noon. It has to be a light. I’ve done a lot of back bay night light fishing, it does have great results. You can make one with some foamboard, an old 5 gallon bucket and a spot light receptacle. I’ve also had success just extending a spot light over the water on a long pole. The fun part is not blowing out your circuit and not shocking yourself from wet cables.

i have a freind that bought the evening secret, it is nothing but a light. a bright light that is neon. it quit working in under an hour. the next day we went to academy and bought a light from there that worked even better.with the evening secret we caught onloy a handfull of 2-3 pound catfish. witht the one from acedemy we hit our limit in just 2 hours. 20 fish.oh the freind was me. lol i felt stupid.

And I thought I had found a great affiliate product. I was really curious and thought the sales page did a great job of selling the dream of lots of decent fish quickly.

I was a lot surprised about the claim of only selling 200 and then having an affiliate program.

I love a really good scam but this is really just theft. One of the interesting things I thought about after I shut the site down was, how come it only lasts a limited time. I guess alight will eventually blow and you’ll have to buy another, unless they’ve sold their 200(00).

Back to the drawing board.

I just checked the web site and did some calculations. 10,000 hours is about the life of a neon light bulb.

It seems to be about an 18 watt bulb and, from other sites, the light is green. I found another article which said that they zooplankton, which is what the light really attracts, are affected by the moon for spawning purposes.

Seems that there is some scope for experimentation about what shade and intensity of green light works best.

I can’t figure out why the damned thing needs to be 4 feet long. All I can work out is that the whole thing lights up to attract more zooplankton. I don’t think it floats so it must act like a big fluorescent light.

GO make one, it shouldn’t cost more than $20 including the battery.

I reckon that in the saltwater any kind of light works to attract any kind of small and medium sized fish on the edge of the light and the dark is where the bigger fish will be swimming waiting for the smaller fish to exit the light, the bigger fish hate the light.
but in the freshwater it may sometimes attract small fish but all you mostly get would be irritating insects.

kraussie….happy fishing

I tell you what this guy dose have a point, he is right about the food chain and I do agrre that it is a light. That after all is what it is and I think this guy is nuts for selling this light foor 200.00 dollars. I mean come on what self respectinng fisherman would scam other fisherman. Well that answers one question,this guy must not have any self respect.

He’s the one doing the fishing and getting lots of nibbles. This guy uses greed as bait and this cynical old trout wasn’t having any of it. A Free tip to all you big bag hunters TALK TO OTHER FISHERMEN TALK TO YOUR LOCAL TACKLE DEALER….. There wasn’t that easy, now you will be able to treble your catch, however if you still feel the need to cast your money around feel free but the only thing you will catch is a con man.

I’ve also been in a boat at night, tied a lantern to a orr, and secured the orr to the side of the boat. I couldn’t believe the results. It was amazing. Don’t waste your money on all these expensive items.

thanx for the heads up. almost bought into it. funny how that guy hypes it up and never says what the hell this amazing thing we all must have is. a 200$ FLORESCENT LIGHT BHAA HA HA HA HA HA. give me 200 bucks and i’ll give you one of those drop lights tied to a life jacket.

Folks….FORGET about Evening Secret! Try these lights out! http://www.fishinglightsetc.com/index.html Take a few minutes out and see what you think about these lights that are affordable and very, very effective! If you decide to buy some, tell the owner, Tom that “Hector” sent you. E-mail me for more questions about this product! -Hector “melissart29@yahoo.com”

Yes, they’re also illegal in most states. Either way it’s still a cheat/scam. Sorry dude.

Actually, the use of underwater lights is onoly illegal in (3)n states. Minnesota, Delaware and Wisconsin. That’s not to say there may not be some local waterways that have thier own set of laws in force. Fishing with lights is a proven method of catching large numbers of fish and has been practiced by many fisherman worldwide for many years. The Evening Secret may be be a scam…but fishing with lights is not..and anyone who thinks it is…is missing out on some great fishing!

JP I believe it’s a lot more states than 3. Im pretty sure Montana is another state where it’s illegal.

A quick search netted me this:

“Using an artificial light to lure or attract fish is unlawful. Exception: While angling, a person may affix to the end of a fishing line a lighted artificial bait with hooks attached.”

So it’s not illegal to use a glowing or illuminated lure, it is illegal to use a light to attract the fish. The use of “lure” in the first sentence is misleading.

My advice is this.. Buy one of those lights and turn it into a wicked lightsaber! http://hyperdynelabs.com/c4/saber/DSC02354.JPG

The way this web site is written brings back memories of direct mail advertising. It’s a formula and it is learned. There are thousands of sites selling things with the same format. If you see it, run. It’s probably junk.

I can not see buying anything over the internet that I can not see….are these people sellingthis fishing secrete that afraid that someone will try to imatate it ….I mean come on this is like buying a car site un seen…..its sooo simple…I have a great fishing friend that knows what it is…he bought one then we looked at it and sent it back….its a freaking blue light….now I KNOWWW there are going to be them out there that will say…”no its not” but hey what ever!!

the neon lights that the cars use under the body to light up the bottom of there cars work there tempered and water proof and they work off your car battery

hey if your a real fisherman you dont need a light to catch fish all you need is common knowledge all you need to do is find structure and fish it if you dont catch nothing in one spot you move on and half the time if you go back to the spot about half an hour to an hour later you would most likely catch a fish so just fish the structers trust me im a pro angler in australia.

if u need a light your not a true fisherman
