I got out to a few different spots on lake W. early this morning. Everywhere I went the trout were busting the water relentlessly. I kept thinking bass were feeding, this will be aweseome day. Skunked! I only had 1 follower and it was a 12'' trout. Is anyone versed on why this was happeneing? The young trout seemed in a hury. I noticed it's a 1st quarter moon today? I'm bummed I was at work the last half of the day when the sun was out.

I observed similar activity and similarly got skunked.

I'm not an expert on piscatology, but from experience I've noticed the moon has something to do with it. Since it's a waxing gibbous, the moon is up in the sky earlier in the evening, so fish can feed at night, which diminished their morning appetite to less than, say what it would be on a new moon which it was a week ago. Fishing was great last week. There's a fishing forecast feature on weather.com that is pretty accurate, except in the past month the hot bites have been about a hour earlier than what they predicted. Still gives a rough picture of the good times to fish. Good luck!
