I was driving to Virginia beach with the wife last night through this morning and couldn't believe how late the moon stayed up in the sky. It seemed to still be present a the sun popped up

The setting moon and rising sun were simultaneous, best morning of the year.

Too busy to "shoot the moon"... Best fishing/week of the season, by far... |

These recent bright nights have actually been better than others. Nothing worth bragging about , but better than a skunking . All on light colored plugs, middle of the night.
Cant wait for new moon week.  |

full moon has been good for me. Not as good as a new moon but if you change your tactics it will produce. More of an 0'dark 30 fishing cycle when full

No boat, back in the suds.

5 hours casting eels
The moon rise was gorgeous. Unfortunately, the fish did not agree. It was so bright, did not use my headlamp all night. I had 1 bump from a small bass and that was it. Plenty of bait...
Still a nice night to be standing on a rock. 54 mile ride home kind of sucked.

1 @ 32 Pledge. Our beloved Striped Bass are in trouble AGAIN.
I fished through the lean years and don't want to live through another collapse of the stock.
2 fish @ 28" is ridiculous.
