Never had much luck predicting anything, especially with respect to tryin to figure out when the bite is on All you can do is take a shot - but thanks to everyone for their thoughts. As we want to try night fishing I mounted a small floodlight on the bow of my boat to help me navigate through stumps and floating debris. I plan to take it easy so I don't screw up my boat or motor.

Anyone have any recommendations for top water baits? I've always had good luck with Hula Poppers, Strike King KVD Splash, Rapala XRap, Scum Frogs, and Jitterbugs - also think I'll try my heavy fly rod with some topwater poppers and large flies. Should be fun

Thanks again to everyone that took the time to repond. My brother and I really enjoy our fishing trips, even when we get skunked
