Mar,
Luv the shot of the birds.

Aron,
Good to see that you're still around.

Best to you both,
Larry S

Larry yes still around! Thanks for your interest... Had a rough end of the year last year and beginning of this year. Fished a bit for shad with Jeff Ching. But been busy. Pops passed away this December, and two cousins this July! Life can be rough at times but gotta move on staying in the past is not a good thing to do. But either way will be out of some steel hopefully soon

Many thanks again for the replies. Very much appreciated.

And the pursuit continues. Ben Fishin and I initially planned on doing a morning trip during the full moon. But later decided that it will be a good idea to fish while the moon is high since ‘the fish feed all night’ during full moons. Or so we’ve heard.
On the road at this time:


And we fished our butts off for several hours. Some fish were caught on lures and flies under the bright moon. And the catching continued until daylight.
Ben persistently fished topwater plugs like a madman for hours until it eventually paid off:








I struck out fishing on top but got a few of these:






Ben also got some on flies:




Fun times. And the full moon effect on the fish? We don't really know. We caught fish while it was high and when it set. I think it mainly gave us an excuse to go fishing at night. But fishing on 15 minutes of sleep is not something I'll do again anytime soon.

The eclipse was really cool to see though:
