It is a bright underwater light with a 20 foot cable that you can lower down. It attracts the zooplankton, which then attract the bugs and minnows and bait fish, and then the bigger fish. Artificial light used to be illegal in Idaho, but from everything I've seen they removed that limitation. I don't know about Utah's regulations. Then you can jig for them and try to get the big fish to choose your presentation.
It's also fun to just watch the fish below, and by illuminating from under the water you don't have the reflective glare that a head lamp would give. Which reminds me, an underwater camera would be another fun toy to use with the battery.
Heh, the laptop may be a bit much but I do like my technology. I might need a waterproof bag for a Nook and other electronics, and I already have an otterbox for my phone. Then maybe a float in case the sonar goes down. For the battery I could always do what the snowmobile guys do when they race across lakes in the summer: Attach a rope with a marker buoy so I can retrieve it later.
