HOT! Fishing HOT!, Full moon

It's been a hot month so hiding from the heat was my priority. Couldn't pass up a chance on fishing under the full moon. The old man in the moon always brings me luck. Everyday could be your best day, fishing or not. Everyday there should be an expectation of trials and triumphs, fishing or not. My nightly fishing adventures are always original. Something unexpected usually happens. Sorry for the pictures, they are not that good.

Spectacular night of an ever changing view of the full moon.

This cloud altered the beam of moon, turning it into a spotlight on the water. I was reminded of the pot of gold, at the end of the rainbow. Maybe there was a catch of Kawartha gold, in that bullseye on the water.

Unfortunately the man in the moon let me down. First time in a long time the full moon did not wake up the predators of the night. Not enough rain, low water levels, almost no wind, too many bugs, too hot, who knows. Caught a couple of perch after dinner. At dusk and into the night, a few bluegill. One walleye and that's it folks. A beautiful and relaxing night on the water. Slow fishing, but a great escape from the daytime heat. Stay hydrated....Stay safe.

that spotlight shot is really cool, to bad you could try fishing that.

Great night of fishing regardless.

Thank you sir, that's the first time I have ever seen a moon beam quite like that. When the moonlight hits the water it comes to life. Wherever you move the boat the reflection stays with you. Nature's nightlight for those who fish the dark water.

Thank you for putting that up Drew. You said something very similar to that a few years ago on one of your posts. Thanks for passing that on, you are right on the money. For myself, being out on the water is all about what might happen. In a boat or canoeing, walking to a secluded spot through the bush. There is so much to see in nature, even in the evening and throughout the night. It was a great night out on the water. The loons were calling to each other. It was so peaceful out there, didn't want to ever leave.
