On the way down Friday I noticed on the lunar chart that Saturday, Sunday and Monday are the best times to fish this month. I usually do not pay any attention to the chart because I usually can not go fishing when the lumar table says too. But as it turns out it may be something to it and if it is correct, today before this front comes through maybe it is an unbelievalbe day to fish. The way I see it, by the numbers of fish I graphed yesterday, Dale is healthy and the fishery is something to protect into the future. No other place can you catch smallmouth like this, including Cumberland. I know I got a few strange looks yesterday when I said I released all the smallmouth, but at this time I would not take a one of these beautiful fish out of Dale when I can eat something else like bluegill, spots and crappie. Maybe because others who released their 3 and 4 pounders was the reason my fishing partner and I was able to see such schools of big smallmouth that make a day to remember. So thanks to you guys who released my fish that made my day.
