Carp Tuesday
I don’t normally pay attention to the Solunar chart since it has failed me often in the past.

Preparing for “Trout season”
It’s fall, temperatures are (finally) getting and staying cooler, and so is the average water temperature. I enjoy fishing for catfish, but they just don’t bite in water temperatures below 75° (they prefer water temps around 82°-84°). I believe I’ve caught one, maybe two in Octobers past in AZ.
