I didn't have the right color lure.

I suck.

Seriously, we've all had occasion to fish a trusted spot with lures or bait we are very confident with and despite the stars and moon being in the right place we don't catch...are they there and have lockjaw or do you chalk it up to fishing over barren water?
Last night was slam zany for 45 minutes (10:30-11:15) until the moon popped through the clouds. Everything was absolutely perfect too...wind, tide, etc. We were also in a spot where we've taken a lot of real large fish....here's what happened..

1. We got there a little late.

2. Moon killed it.

3. Wrong hue on my eel.

4. I just suck.

5. Summer doldrums...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
