I guess the title pretty much sums it up, I am trying to decide on either green or black light for a cap light to do some night fishing this year.

i have two 3 foot black lights on the bow of my boat when i night fish, i dont really  notice it scaring fish, i just use it to see my line a bit better, as far as a cap light glaring toward the water im not to sure, but if put flash lights on fish and watched them sit in the same spot for quite some time

My take on this is that anything "unatural" distracts fish, and this is what I always go by.  It may be right, it may be wrong, but to me, it makes sense.

When I night fish, I only use my head lamp if I'm netting a fish, or if I need to see my tackle box.  My head lamp has a red light, along with white lights.  The red light takes less time for your eyes to re-adjust then the wight light which is nice.  I've heard green keeps the bugs away.

I may be totally wrong about this. But i always thought at night, that light would attract fish.

I think I read something like that somewhere... not directly, but that the light attracts bugs, which attracts baitfish, which attracts bass.  Makes sense to me.  

But, as far as shining a light in the water, I can attest to the fact that I have scared some bass away by doing that (red and white light, never tried green).  I don't think a black light would, though.
