Night fishing from Jon boat
 

I am new to boat fishing. Really new to fishing with anything besides a worm and bobber really. I have a decent 14' Jon boat with a 3.0 hp gamefisher " does not run 100% yet ".. A decent trolling motor.. I am trying to find out what kind of light requirements I need on this small boat to fish along the banks after dark. Thank you all much in advance.

All boats require lighting compliant with the information here - http://www.tn.gov/twra/boatlight.html

Thank you. Would that be something I could pick up locally and add to the boat? Or is there some sort of portably lights people use?

You can buy battery operated clamp on lights at bass pro or Walmart...

The portable ones are $20-$30 for the Bi colored bow and $20-$30 for the white stern. They clamp on and you can get them at Bass Pro maybe Academy as well.

Both places will sell the wired lights too.
