[cool]Where have you been, Bro? You been away so long the fish don't recognize you.
You might have a good excuse with that moon thing. It worked for me. And I know a lot of pretty good fisherfolk around the country all had less than stellar reports for the weekend past.
Let's hope the fish run out of excuses and start biting again.

[cool]Sticking fish with an arrow is called "force-feeding". Another version of that is snagging. I've been known to employ both methods on carpkind myself.
When the other fishies get lockjaw, you have to have some kind of excuse. Being able to blame it on the moon, the barometer, or anything else other than poor technique is our only way to salvage our mighty macho image when we report back to other fishermen. Fortunately, other fishermen will usually nod and agree. They have to...if they expect us to sympathize with them when they blank too.
