During the warmer months, the majority of my time on the water is at night. The moon plays an obvious role here; light. I do believe that when combined with other conditions, certain lunar phases have the potential to produce better than others. I've found that some bodies of water fish better on dark nights and others do well with some lunar light present. Full moon / bright nights have rarely been especially productive for me. However, nights with a full or near full moon that is partially or better yet, completely obscured by cloud cover, have often been some of the best producers for both numbers and size of green and brown bass. Moon rise/sets have often produced well, even if I couldn't actually see it. So although I do fish when I can, I'm especially excited during certain lunar phases. A-Jay

Way Too Late for that ~ And I'm guessing my wife is feeling the same thing and I don't blame her . . . . . . A-Jay

Stick a tarpon and come with us in March. Then we can all be jealous in person (while holding Outrageous Dinosaur Bass) A-Jay

It only take one little slip of paper with the weight on it to make my day. But it has to be the right weight. . . . . A-Jay

Now That Is Very Cool. A-Jay

^^^^^^^^^^^^^ X2 ~ ! Congrats. A-Jay

I hate that. I've had to upgrade the split ring which aren't very heavy to begin with, to keep from losing a few each trip. Try putting the scent of your choice on the head /body of the bait and if your not "buring the bait" try using a scent loaded swim bait style trailer. That gives them a nice "Target" to focus their strike on. Good Luck A-Jay

Man Up and Go A-Jay

I agree it had to be done. The "between the legs" squeeze was effective but probably not any better than the carpet drag landing. But what's the alternative ? Can they use a net ? And if not, why ? It happens enough as it is, but it seems as though the rules are steering someone to get a treble hook buried in their hand very soon. A-Jay

I think we both know if you're asking - it means Yes. Where you at ? We are fostering this guy right now. We rescued him from a "bad situation" - but he is a Great Dog ! "RD" is a 3 yr pure bred Malamute who's Full of Life. Our kennel is full otherwise he'd already be part of our pack. btw - We Always get our dogs Two at a time - the power of the pack can not be denied.

Nice Job J Putting in the time. btw - did I miss the screen shot of your gps there ? A-Jay

Could it be Loch Ness Largemouth Bass ? A-Jay

I agree that 6xd is a solid producer - btw - love to see a shot of that 6 lb smallie . . . . . A-Jay

It's been a decent summer for spinner baits for smb. A-Jay

I am a Big Fan of Pike Fillets. Not the easiest fish to clean but worth it. There are probably a few different ways to do ti. I use the method shown in this video. Good Luck. A-Jay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGJhLfWLRx8

Other than "because we can", - why ? A-Jay

By day, look for suitable structure and cover, good ambush points and Bait. And then be all Sneaky & Go back at night. They'll never know what hit'em ~ A-Jay

I've not tried Megastrike yet, because Pro-Cure (in particular Trophy Bass flavor) has been so good. A-Jay

So let me get this straight - You had no camera for your PB but did manage to snap a great shot of that Mutant in your Avi ~ Come on person . . . . . A-Jay

Do it man - It's The Best ! A-Jay

I thought the same thing - and his wife almost when for a ride. It's all fun & games until you stand in front of a debris-laden flash flood and get wash the heck away . . . . A-Jay

Flipping is one technique where the angler has a decent shot at a big bass, even a PB. Once you lose "The One", you might change your tune. Making an attempt to eliminate that possibility works for me. You may never get another shot at her. btw - what does Big-O prefer to use - he seems to hook, fight, land, photo and than release his fair share of TOADS ~ A-Jay

New one for me ~ A-Jay

That is Wild ! This is definitely one of those fishing stories that NO ONE who ever believe if they hadn't seen it. A-Jay

How does March 2014 sound ? I think there is a seat open - with your name written All Over It. A-Jay
