Pacemaker Fishing Forum

It never stops!

After reading a few of the recent posts I got to thinking about when bass eat. Rapala Andy talked about only fishing for a period of time as he studies when that might be. This is interesting because I do believe the fish eat at certain times....but when? One can try to better their odds by studying the feeding charts, moon phases and all that good stuff. I am impressed with how some of the guys on this board read the water and use tackle and technique.

For me, I just go fishing (I can only go when I can go regardless of conditions) and try to use what I have learned. many times, we will be fishing for perch and striper at dead low tide with no movement yet we will still catch fish. Why? Perhaps the feeding cycle did not coincide with the tides or moon phase. Or perhaps I did a good job of presenting an offering to the fishies.

You guys (Curly, Charlie, bigjeffie, Carl, DD, purpleworm, Coz, Paul Naj, Osprey, L1Ranger, Capt.MikeStarrett, jumpimg jasper, AndrewDo etc), are teaching the next generation.

I sincerely hope that the HS guys are paying attention because the teaching is great as are the pics.
