As usual I totally sucked. MB has my number as always.

Nice bass Shane. Look forward to doing it again. How's the shoulder holding up?

Jeff, keep putting in the TOW. You'll get MB at some point, and then you'll wonder why it ever seemed so hard. At least that's how it was with me.

Ed's right my first few times I got maybe 1 or 2 fish then you saw how I did on friday. You should consider getting some braid and that might help with strike detection and feeling the top of the weed beds.
Thanks for asking Ed. The shoulder is mediocre at best. Waiting for clearance to get an mri. Probably a rotator cuff tear where my bicep tendon connects so it's a little little bit out of position and that's why it's impinging in the joint. I might be jumping the gun but with my crude knowledge of how things work, I'm guessing the only way is surgery and that's going to take me out for 3-6 months. In the meantime, I will try to do all the pt that worked for a short while before, though I think there is more damage this time around.

I don't know if you follow lunar tables or believe in them but last Thursday and Friday were the highest rated days for the month for fishing and the sun rise and moon rise were fairly close in time.

That being said it certainly didn't help me!

First time I've ever seen a Lunar table. But, I do watch the tides. I don't plan my fishing around them, but I like to know the when and how much anyways. At the very least I then know what to expect for movement and might plan where I fish based on that.

You guys should do a Hot Sauce vs Uni Butter competition.

I'm a big believer that the solunar periods affect fishing, but haven't really been able to translate that to catching more fish... yet.

Steve and I have a competition every week

In reality, while I like Hot Sauce best and Steve likes Uni Butter, I think the fish like both. They might prefer one over the other depending on conditions and location. Steve and I are usually pretty close as far as #'s go though. Some days he does better, sometimes I do.
