David's "bloom 'n bugs" theory ... ;^>

I definitely need to get out more. I am not sure if my weekend escape to Savannah made it better or worse in the long run.

"no doubt you guys have studied-- read- experimented in this field-- greatly shows  your intelligence on the subject matter!!    BUT!!  then again-- I can;t help thinking--  these guys dont get out much!!  LOL!!!"

Im with Carl, here.


This is odd, too, because I used to read and study and take in every bit of info I could. Most of you guys have listened to me recount these things over the years. Field studies, fish biology, tomes and tomes of opinion - I've filled volumes with these things. Sometimes I look through that stuff and even Im amazed at how much I've collected.

So, I've been following this with some interest. I like Leos idea about "planetary vibrations," although I don't think we can accurately apply them, since we cant even quantify them.

And I'm sure were spot on with the photoperiod / temperature overlap.

But in the end, we run into what people in the training field call, "knowledge curse, or, "The More You Know, The Less You Can Explain."

So, I'm striving to keep it simple:

Watch the dogwoods (or local equivalent) and the flying insects. When they start up in the Spring, get to fishing. Be ready before then.

If you miss a day or two, it'll be alright.

Puahahahahahaah! Tooty and Carl probably did scream out what you've just indicated.

Comment by Andy is OptiMystic on March 5, 2015 at 11:20am

I think most the group is just sitting back and going - "Fish plotting invasions? Oocytes? Magnets? Man, those guys need to go fishing..." ;^>

Comment by Leo Nguyen on March 5, 2015 at 11:16am

Exactly right Tony. Have you seen Bruce's RE minions? They recovered his iPhones from the lake's depths, and reverse engineered his electronics for their annoying evil schemes to get back at Bruce.
