Fishing on Solar Eclipse Day

[LAHooligan]

Well I went from 12:30 till 3:30 and here's what I came up with. Bites were very light till 1pm, temp dropped a little and everything got REALLY quiet for about 20 minutes then they started thumping a jig dropped down to 8-9 feet. I threw back 8 and lost a bunch in the tops but had a nice mess for supper tonight. I will post some pics when I get to my laptop.

Here's a few pics, you sure can't see the moon blocking anything in these but with the glasses it was about 75% and looked pretty cool. 1 keeper and 2 dink's came during the eclipse, the rest came after it passed and it got really hot real fast.

We didn't wet a hook during the eclipse. We did notice a slight drop in temp and the lake calmed down a bunch. Oh yea, the lake lice actually stopped their terrorizing for about 5 minutes.

I agree to the water lice activity! Once it started getting seriously close to "ground zero time", the lake went to dead calm, conditions and activity. It was actually peaceful during this event. Then after the end of totality and the lights were getting turned back on, it didn't take long for the circus to start back up!

I was planning to, but when all the boats started blowing by me at 10:00, I had 15 in the box. I decided it wasn't worth the aggravation for five fish and headed home.
