I catch alot of fish at night in great cove, Dow's has always been great, Laurie even gave my son a set of wing nuts free, when he forgot them for the trolling motor battery! She would rather see you catch fish and come back again!

Fly rod with the smallest poppers you can find, or
streamer patterns...If your not familiar with the fly rod,
ultra lite spinning gear with small fly patterns under a bobber....

Once you've caught a few sunnies, chunk em up for kitties or
live line a few for any beast thats hungry...

Sounds like you got bad mojo. Two important things always step into the boat with your right foot and never bring bananas on the boat. Hope that helps.

Never mind the superstition...PM Fasteddie, Bunnkerdunker or Catfishonthelake (remember him?).
These guys know the ropes.
