hey chuck, many moons ago i was at Lonnie Stanley's shop in Huntington TX. (Stanley jigs fame) and he told me and my team tournament fishing partner that as soon as the moon was full in Feb. head shallow, the fish will be trying to do their thing, i have caught more big fish in Jan/Feb. and his advice has always proven to be beneficial.
now go get'em we will be fishing the "HNI tournament" but with the kinda fish in your area, i know I'll be fishing for 2nd place
...
BTW, me and the misses have been talking (alot) about a Mexico trip next year, if we do be forewarned
you and josh both
