I wanted to add something to this post that I had already talked about in previous post from last year or the year before. When I cleaned my 10 crappie this morning, there was nothing in the stomachs of all 10 fish. The moon phase was 27% waning crescent moon. Over the years I have noticed how reluctant the fish are to bite when we are not in a Full moon or New moon phase.

They are much easier to catch and have stomachs full of Shad or whatever they are feeding on in your lake during full/new moon phases and most are fasting during the waning or waxing stages of our monthly lunar cycles. I believe that is why the bite is more difficult during the off phases.

I’m sure that the Livescope people may have a different opinion and that is okay with me, but as all of you know that I don’t play video games on my boat while I am fishing. My reason for fishing is much more that just catching fish, if you get my drift. Heck, I don’t play and never have played video games in my home. Playing video games is a great way to destroy the family circle as no one is ever communicating with each other and we wonder how the heck our world is heading in the direction it is.
