Fishn-Magician : Sorry about not hollering back at you sooner, just got back in from a nine day vacation myself. Sorry to hear as well your trip was a bit tough, but that is center hill at times it is "feast or famine" is what the locals say, but glad you hooked up with a couple of good ones. If you could make it back around the week before christmas or the week after for a few days you would find a whole different ball game with the fish busting the minnows then with a spoon. Spots that look like a football gourged on the minnows are not uncommon to catch then as well as a few smallmouth and largeheads mixed in at times in the area that I told you about. Three days before and three days after the full moon seems to be the best time around that period of the moon to catch fish, but you are right about the view it is something to see at night on the water when it first comes up. Come back again and see us when you can...283
