Post metal halides

Switched from 4000 watts of halo's to 3 400 watt MH's. easier on the genny and should have more light. 2 weeks till carp shooting opens so i havnt had them out on the water. anyone else running these MH? When i light them up in the driveway they are bright as F@@K!

The 3 lights are 90lbs. With me and 200 lbs of carp the boat is maxed. I live on the river i shoot so I'm not running big or rough water and only shoot when it's dead calm. Most of the fish I shoot are with in site of my property. I would love to find a 1648 or 1848 but in northern MN they are hard to come buy

In MN it is closed from the end of feb till may 1 to keep people from bothering the walleyes spawning in the rivers and the shallows. The carp do more harm to the walleye spawn than the few people chasing them
