moon phase

[DIXIE CUP]

DO ANY OF YOU OLD LAKE OF THE WOODS PROS KNOW IF THE MOON PHASE EFFECTS THE FISHING ON THE LAKE OF THE WOODS THIS LATE IN THE SEASON.<P>------------------<BR>Cupper

simply put ----YES----with a dark stained water such as we have here,any additional light tiggers the feeding frenzy..I have seen throughout the years that if there is a full moon and a clear sky throughout the night ,,the following day's activity is slower......typically summer or winter as soon as the sun drops below the western tree line ,,for the most part fishing is over ---so if you put a great big spotlight in the sky the activity is prolonged and like all of us at some time we get full and need to back off from the dinner plate

Charterboss: Looks like I will have a chance to come back next week again in addition to our regularily scheduled 3/25 trip. Where does Glenn have his houses at this time? He was starting to move them back shallow on 2/26 when I was there. Any info from them at this time that you can pass along? I'll know by Sunday if it is going to work or not. Good luck to you also and HANG ON!! Bill

I called Riverbend this morning and talked to Ellen. They did not have anything open next Thursday and Friday for cabins. They do have a house for us however. I called six places and finally found a cabin at Borderview for 3/18 and 3/19. so unless something goes wrong plan to be there next week. I also have a prearranged reservation 3/2-3/27. Hopefully the weather will hold just a little longer. See you next week. Bill

I'm going to ask Glenn about making that same trip next week when we get there. he had told me the last time that it was definitley an option to take a bomber and one of the guides and do the same thing. I'll be looking for a report from you regarding the adventure. bill
