Buddy and I hit RP this a.m., lines in water about 0900...full moon last nite didn't seem to bother my buddy's bite, and he picked up 2 - 17"ers heading toward the inlet side...I ran the boat and just watched him catch another, before I got fed up and started heading toward the dam...finally I got a 12"er, and had to resist my initial impulse to put 1 in my empty bag on ice, as his 3 really nice keepers were somewhat weighing on my jealous mind...I let 'em go....then 10 mins later I was rewarded by a very healthy 17.5"er, still heading toward the dam area..and almost as soon as I could get my Rainbow Assasin back 90', even before clipping to the DR wire, I got hit again, and another fat 17"er...We did several loops all around this side, at times closer to the dam, but usually out in the middle....planer board Rapalas weren't working for me today, until I put on 2" Rainbow Rapala....last week I had added 1/2 oz weight, but today best was with no added weight (diving depth of it was 5 to 6')....After we each kept a nice 4 fish limit, I released about 5 more, and my buddy released about 10 more....All rainbows caught were surface to about 7' down, and all lures again were tipped w/nite crawler piece...Good a.m. to be on the water...Full Moon? no problem, especially for my buddy this time....Guluk...
