well folks, seems like there will be a lunar eclipse tonight. Does anybody know how this will affect the fishing? it is beautiful outside, mid 50s, and I absolutely must get out. Break in the baitcaster and all... Chances are I just fish bluegill, perhaps throw a deadstick on one rod. Hopefully a lunar eclipse doesn't mean bad fishing... Anybody know?

Not that I know of. I doubt it will make a whole lot of difference. Get out and catch you a few!

Got out... dind't catch any. Partly becausee i brought three friends who didnt fish at all... every second i was untangling, retying, casting for them... grr what a pain. Ended up with 2 tangled reels i need to pick later and a rebroken mitchell avocate i fixed with expoy like a week ago. I do now know there is good trout fishing there. Some guy caught 3, around 14 inches each

indeed. didn't do well at all because of wind. But I do have a royal backlash now that I cannot get out...

just look for the loops on the spool and pull several out, one may loosen the rest of the line , or get your mom to buy you a knitting needle with a hook on it...usually if you follow you line into the reel and see what loop is over it, you can loosen that loop, pull it and see if you line will pull out.
