Full Moon

[JJJ]

Fishing partner and I had 3 follows last night and missed one. The size of the fish was better than average for the lake we were on. Did anyone see better than average muskie action with the full moon period? Also I used topwater for about 45 minutes last night. Is this the wrong time of year to be trying topwater?

I was out on Tuesday and moved 5 fish, but never boated one and all 5 were moved via top water with 2 of the fish taking some big swipes at the lure and tossing them in the air and missing and the other 3 had there noses right up to the back of the lure and pushing it hard, but never took a swipe. I tried cat and mouse with them and changing directions, but they just didn't want to smack it. I tossed back some big plastics and slower moving tops and still nothing. I'll toss top water lures of all type till the end of the year and last year I boated a few in mid October, but that's just my style and I do use other lures as fall kicks in, but some I find myself reaching for that top water lure 90 % of the time.

We moved three last night guys. One on a topraider and two on a spinnerbait. The one on the topraider got the hooks into her a little bit but got off. One of the ones moved on a spinnerbait was an upper 40's fish if not 50. The other was a three footer or thereabouts. We stayed out past moonrise about a half hour but most of our action ended up being around 5-6 p.m. Threw topwaters for a while after dark and nothing.Walk the dog and noisy styles.Tossed back a topwater on the big girl that followed the spinnerbait but she was pretty lazy.

Was out on Sunday and moved one very large fish about moon rise and put a 38 in the boat about 45 minutes later. Caught the fish on a Hawg Wobbler and had the follow on a bucktail. Partner had something swipe at his jackpot but it was after dark and didn't see it.
