Once in a Blue Moon......

[RumRiverRat]

This is the 1st time since December 31st 2009 that we have had 2 full moons in a month.

I am not much of a believer in astrological type stuff but I wonder if this will make for some good fishing this weekend.

I will be heading to the lake in about 15 minutes and it looks like I will have a glorious 99% moon to light the way.

Going to be throwing a Black Whopper Plopper over a shallow weed flat and see if any Sow Green Bass want to eat.

I don't know about the fishing, but that moon was awesome when I left for work this morning before 6am. Good luck out there.

You're a lucky man RUM! I walked out of the house this morning at 5:30 to head to work and just thought to myself how great it would be to be on the water right now! Let us know how the bite was.

Here's a pic I got of the last one. It was a good time on LOW. :>)

WOW! That is an very cool shot.

[EBass]

EG has all the cool shots.

Don't know about the moon - but going to be out there this Sat and Mon. Last Sunday wasn't too shabby.

They often say that fishing the day after a full moon is not good fishing.. since the sky stays lit up all night.. allowing fish to feed better at night.. whether or not this is true or just fishing lore from Izaak Walton.. That's for you and your fishing journals to decide

I hit the lake with Rum this morning. Fishing was steady until two old timers pulled up next to us and anchored about 10' away from where we had a buoy thrown out. Then they proceeded to cast live frogs about 3 feet from our boat. They kept trying to make conversation, but we couldn't get over the fact that they were oblivious to how rude they were being.

I have to give them credit on two accounts.

1. They threw back all their bass which is a pretty rare thing in the 80+ fishing community.

2. They were pounding the bass on those live frogs.

We moved to a different spot and pulled cranks over the top of a weed bed in 8 feet of water. Weeds topped out at about 4'. Rum was getting fish after fish on a Clackin Rap until he got bit off by what we assume was a northern. That fish is swimming around with a $12 lip ring

Clacking Crank not Rap. I bought it on sale so it is a $7 lip ring.

Those old guys sure were oblivious to how rude they were.

The Lake Juan and I were on is a lake we have now fished for 2 years. I have fished it at least 30 times this year.

We have really got the fish dialed in. Proof that when 2 people put their heads together and share information good things will happen.

A few of the hundreds of fish I have pulled out of this lake this year.

Great report. Bummer about getting moved in on, but as you say, it's good to know the old guys were actually throwing them back. That's a miracle, in my experience.
