Full Moon Fishing., No wind and cool out.

Almost no wind, just a slight breeze from the north. Temperature got down to 9 degrees so only a couple of mosquitoes out last night. Fishing was good, not great just good. Who cares because it was so beautiful with the full moon out. The beavers swimming around, you can see the gentle wake they leave behind them as they cruise back and forth. I should really give them names seeing them so often. The crank baits were left in the bucket last night. Just wanted to watch the bobber and glow stick glimmer on the surface of the water. It's amazing when it is so quiet and you can just doze off because the water is so peaceful. Then the green light vanishes in a millisecond with a faint ripple on the water. Set the hook, fish on. A quick rush of adrenaline, reel the fish in then let it go. LOL. That's what last night was all about, catch and release. Lots of fish but no size to them. It was a great night to relax and catch some fish. Biggest crappies were 10 inches. Smallest crappie was about 6 inches. A couple bluegill and walleye, and no bass this time. Wish I could have stayed but only had a small amount of time. Here is a couple pictures.

Another crappie. Bigger but not big enough to keep.

Took a picture of the moon. This is what came up on the screen. Which one is the moon.

No bear last night.

Glad to know you had a good time there.

I fished a northern lake on Sat afternoon. Still some boat traffic after the rain, but it was ok in a couple of bays. Caught about a dozen of crappie, almost all around 9". Released all. Kept few bass. Caught many nice bluegills and pumpkins that had no problems to bite 2" tubes.

Well done CM.

Beautiful weather lately for fishing. Enjoy your dinner.

Thank you Arnie. Lots of fish out there, just waiting for them to grow for next year and so on.

Sounds like a great night, Yeah this 8-9 degree weather is a treat. Nice and refreshing, beats the heck out of 35+ and humidity.

Agreed. Not as cool in the next two weeks at night. But the cool nights will be back soon enough.
