Thank you again. We're planning on night fishing for sure, I'll remember the reflector suggestion for the campsite, we were just going to mark it on the handheld GPS or hang a glow stick.

Can't wait for the stars, we selected our trip dates specifically for the new moon phase.


New moon? Great for stars......not so great for night fishing IMO. The good news is the DAY fishing should be GREAT! Still.....go out and paddle around but be careful as it will be dark, dark dark. Kinda spooky on the new moon without a q-beam  Grin. So, no sleepin in! Those fish will be very hungry first thing in the morning since they didn't chew all that well all night (even a fish has to have some light to feed).

check this out.......here I'm telling you not to night fish on the new and as soon as I finish this here bowl of oats I'm off to catch bait in the keys and then fish round the clock for 3 days AND nights in the Tortugas. Every time I go on the new I always say the same thing........never again  Grin.........But I'm the quintessential optimist and I always go in thinking it will be good if not excellent. The only total bummer is they are calling for 9' seas by sunday, we will be rockin and rollin (hmmmm........I wonder if that will fire those fish up  Cool )

This just happened and might be one of those things where "you had to be there" but it was pretty dang funny...........

It is my wifes birthday today so I said........."Honey, today is a very special day for a very special person"..........there was a long pause and she responded....."oh, someone is going fishing today?" We both laughed rather heartily at that.

MT, thanks for the tip about early mornings. I've heard mixed results about night fishing on the new moon. Guess we'll see how it goes...

Nicely done with the wife Bday comment Smiley

The trip report is in "Back to Civ" Drew.........
No need to be jealous.......come on down. If your a "nice" guy and don't smoke or curse or drink to excess then you might be a candidate. Just fill out forms 26451-B and provide the required info for a background check and show up with a wad of dough and your set. I have even invited a Lib or two........ Wink
