Small Lakes Big Fish!

With a full moon and a buddy who has worked too hard for too little musky results, we headed north to chase the toothy ones last weekend. Friday night was a night I’ll never forget, it was flat calm and a moon so bright you could see your lure 10+ feet out. Almost immediately after getting out we spooked a monster which was the first of 7 muskies we saw that night in about 5 hours of fishing. Included in that was my buddies pb 47″ tank! Adding to this Is the 15″ crappie and 30″ walleye me or a buddy has been lucky enough to put top side this year on smaller lakes and my attention is more and more on hidden gem hunting! Fwiw We fished the same lake Saturday night and didn’t see one fish, but at that point our weekend was already made. Now if we could just extend fall another couple months I might be able to fit it all in!

Thanks, and I’m not sure how some people do it, but it appears to be possible to take quality night pics. lol

good story. glad to hear you guys got on some fish. I was out last Saturday during a almost full moon and the night was calm and beautiful. Only caught one tiny bass though while targeting walleyes. Still night fishing under a full moon is a nice experience.

As for night pics my camera is a simple point and shoot and does well. Phone cameras just don’t cut it, you need a good flash. As you stated headlamps don’t help

Every night photo I take is with my cell phone.
On a mount, set to 2 second intervals.

If the camera is steady, and you can keep steady, and of course your lens isn’t fogged and your headlight is off… Pics are just fine.

I’ve only got a few examples of said photos on this forum

I’m interested, what phone do you have? I’ve used about every phone made (customer phones) with poor luck.

I don’t know, droid, turbo, maybe.
Camera zoom app has the time lapse feature.

I’ll try that, thanks.
