I've been bowfishing a few years but have only used spotlights so far. Me and my group is looking at generators and lights on a small budget. We are looking at a 900watt generator. I know where I can get up to 2-400w HPS fixtures and as many 150w fixtures as I would need. Is this generator a joke and if not, what light combo would you suggest?

Noob need help picking lights.
I would go ahead and buy a 3500 watt genny. You can get them relatively cheap now and can always add lights as you go with the extra power. My buddy has a 900 watt genny and it really is a joke I think lol.
Southern Draw is about right. Buy a bigger generator so you can open up many more lighting options. You would be much happier in the end. About the best value in a generator out there in my opinion is the little 3500 watt Champion generator. It sells for $279-$300 at tractor supply and has proven to be very reliable for many people including myself!
I agree with what you say about the generator but money is something I don't have a lot of at the moment. I shouldnt even be buying the 900w. With a 900w, what can I run?
If you can get the 150's, I would go with 3 150w HPS. The larger generator and more lights can come later, but this will get you on the water.
I've got a buddy that is shooting over the 65 watt fluorescent flood lights you can find at lowes. I don't like the penetration of fluorescents but it works for him. And you could run 11 of them on a 900 watt generator and be right at the 80% load mark for your generator.
I wouldn't waste my time or money on a 900 watt genny... but that genny and some lights sure beats using a spot light...
