Night Fishing. Bat Problem.

[Trav]

If you think the bats are a problem here, try fishing the jungles of Panama!

I have your answer though. We always put up a flag about 2 feet above our heads. Something about that seems to do the trick. We had even put rags on the end of a fishing rod we werent using. Although, if the wind isnt blowing a little to give them some movement it can be pointless but no matter what, having something at a higher elevation than yourself will focus them on it, other than you. Try it. You will see results. Even if it isnt 100% effective.

Its kind of like deet. It will repel but there is always those pests that will see through the evergreen scent. Haha

Put a couple of thermacells in your boat to keep the bugs away and the bats should not be there either.

What you need is an ultrasonic transducer that propagates in the bat frequency range (20-200kHz). Send out the right type of noise (outside range of human hearing) with the right frequency modulations and they will notice you and avoid. Folks at Devils Den SP or one of the college research labs might be able to provide a recommendation on safe equipment and technique. http://psychology.utoledo.edu/images/users...0bats%20III.pdf
