Know when to fold em

I unbuckled a good fish early on then nothing all night. The moon was banging. I think after this moon fades it going to really heat up. But the feeling is definitley in the air. Last night i was doing the one more cast for 20 more casts. Just didnt want to call it a night in hopes for one big strike.......it never came.

After a very slow July and August the fishing the last six nights has been really good. Not sure where they suddenly came from but cooky cutter fish all between 40-42" have showed up in good numbers in the surf. The full moon hasn't seemed to bother them at all.

Same thing is happening down here too. They're getting bigger and more numerous each night.

Know what happened? Bass are phototropic. They move on the angle of the Sun.

While bait, temperature, wind, tide and structure all have a play in the movement, the deciding factor is Sunlight. Less Sunlight and more darkenss trigger a homing response that let's some primal reflex take over and tell the Bass that it's time to head South.
