Pacemaker Fishing Forum

I've never been fond of fishing the full moon during daytime but yet, I continue to do it.



John and I were on the water shortly after 6:30a and went to a shallow water spot to see if there was anytnig going on.

There was but it was little guys!







It didn't take long after this that we started to feel the heat...



...and man, did it get hot!

So we went up river to get a breeze while we ran fast and then stopped at XX. Only issue was that there was more stain (some brown) on that shore line. Even though the river is dropping, there is still a lot of crap floating down the river and the MD creeks are still bringing in chocolate water.

Anyway, no hits in 3 drifts so on to the next shoreline,

Once there, we did get a few hit and the John stuck this 15 incher....



...on a home made white crawdad!



We caught a couple more longears.

As I mentioned before, it got really hot really fast. It was blazing...and no wind!

A couple of lessons learned:

1. When it's that hot stay home!
2. When it's that hot, fly fishing may not be the best choice. Too much work casting, mending etc.
3. Make sure you drink lots of liquids..even if not thirsty. I am still re hydrating and am getting close to a gallon of liquid since this morning.
4. Going fishing is always a good thing!

We got off the water shortly after 11:30a. But I did enjoy the Italian Store sub on the way home....

Had a good time with John and got gifted a few flies from him as well. Nice!!
