Well I got a lesson on site fishing. I had a guy telling me what to look for but I could not see them. He said I needed a very good pair of sun glasses which I only had my reg. glasses. It was nice watching him. His biggest was 7 lbs. I had several pick up my Lizard but I could not get a hook in them. A couple wrapped me up but got off pretty fast so I don't know if they were hooked. Will use a bigger hook next time.

A lot of boats in and out of each cove. I was setting looking for a couple beds the other guy said was there when a man and a woman came fishing down where I had just looked for them. I did not say anything to them about the beds and he saw the fish right off. He was using a swim bait that it would have took a five pounded just to get it in his mouth. Needless to say he could not get the fish to bite. With all the boats they probably had sore jaws anyway.

I bet doc can get em. Gongrats on on your tourny this weekend doc. Lowrider said the fishing was tough.

As many people was there today I bet the parking area overflowed this weekend.

58.9 tempt.

You dont have to have a 100$ pair of polarized glasses, the better quality would help but a 15$ pair from wally world will work. As far as the tourney lots of boats, Montlunkerhunter did pretty well, finished 3rd I think. I just couldn't catch the last 2 fish I needed, but Ill get em next time. It sucks the fish are allready on the beds, bad weather this week I hope pushes them off for a bit, till I can get over there. I love to sight fish monticello.

Doc the guy I was talking to said that I would get hooked if I started bed fishing, but I will need to position the boat better and or get my eyes checked again. I have type 2 and don't eat right and they are subject to change. The transitional lens are not very good/dark in them. I have a pair from sports Acad that wrap around, but was not planning on bed fishing and did not have them with me. I will try them next time or try on a pair that goes over my glasses but I don't know if they would be worth a hoot like that, plus I don't care for glasses to start with much less fell like I am wearing gogles with two pair on. I tried some flip downs last time down but I could see better and clearer with out them.

A buddy I work with I talked to last night likes the Casta Del Mar the best and Mau Jims second best. He fishes a lot of tournaments.

I may call my opti. and see what options I have with them.

This cold snap may back them down a little for a few days.

I have a tournament on Lake Dardanelle the 17th and I will figure something out to wear by then.

i wear ray bans...have for a long time. glass lenses hold up alot better, i usually get tired of the style before anythigng ever breaks on them. just got a pair of polarized ban's last year, they work great and i love 'em, but costa del mar's are what i'm constantly drooling over now. only thing is, when i built my pair on the website they cost almost $300!. there are alot of lens options and of course i chose the best. i dunno, maybe one of these days.

be like ike!!

I like the amber lens for low light or cloudy days, and the green or grey polarized for sunny ones

[Tall]

Thanks guys for the info. on the sunglasses.

Went by and tried several pair on for size. Optom. will order some in larger size to try for a good seal and fit to block out all the light as possible. Tried Cocoons, Maui Jims, Costa Rica and a few other brands. I have trouble getting glasses to fit. Maui Jims were impressive and stood out when they were all sprayed with water. He is a bass fishernman and likes gray in the Maui Jim due to the rain-x like coating they have when out in the weather and boat riding for the mist and spray.
