My son and I were on Lake Conroe last night and saw 5 boats on the way back to the marina, maybe a 2-3 mile trip, either with no lighting or incorrect lighting. It's the 4th or 5th night out in a row that I've see more than one boat without any lights whatsoever out on Lake Conroe. I'm seeing more and more boats with blue or some other color LED lights on the rear of the boat also, no white light. Anyone else seeing this a lot? I have had two different nights in the last two weeks that I ran up on boats with no rear lights and came pretty close to them. I talked to the guys in one boat that I came close to, they were in a wakeboard boat, and told them that their rear light wasn't on. He replied his lights were on and I told him the front ones were working but not the white light. He seemed clueless, like he didn't know there was supposed to be any other light except the front ones. Conroe has a ton of houses along the shoreline and with all of the house and business lighting it's a hard lake to navigate at night, especially with incorrect or no lighting on the boats.
I've seen this lighting issue with a lot of bass boats also and especially center console boats. The center console boats I am seeing have some really bright rear facing blue or some other color LED lighting on the t- top or whatever it's called. I've talked to the local Constables office that patrols Lake Conroe and they know it's an issue but I have never seen them out at night patrolling.
