Rules of the Road · Light Identification — Fishing (other)

Explanation

A non-trawling fishing vessel shows an all-round red light over an all-round white light ('red over white, fishing tonight'), and where gear extends more than 150 m horizontally, an additional all-round white light in that direction.
