Nice looking outfit, skeet.

It seems to me that the bream wants a slower presentation on the new moon and a little bit faster presentation on a full moon. I’ll go no matter the moon phase.

You’ve seen pics of the little jigs I’m using. I’ve been slow hopping them with short moves of about a foot mostly. A super slow steady retrieve works sometimes but there’s times it has to sit on the bottom and act stupid for them to try and kill it. A lot of deep takes yesterday.

Learned that first hand this past weekend. Though I was going to hammer them. Got humbled instead. It was a sobering trip… but any day better than a good day at work ;-)

Prime time for them then. Maybe they don't read In-Fisherman magizine and know they're supposed to be spawning.
