It's good time to night fish on farm watershed lakes

From Commonwealth News Center
Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife, Frankfort, KY

Not all of us can afford or have the room for a glittery bass boat, johnboat, canoe or float tube to indulge in our fishing hobby. We fish from the bank. Although we may feel left behind on shore, bank anglers may have an advantage during the long, hot days of summer because the best time to fish for bass is night and the bank is the easiest place to night fish.

Fishing from shore in the darkness is easier because an angler can concentrate on detecting strikes and catching fish, not boat positioning, kicking gear off the casting deck or stepping on an expensive fishing rod. The bank is also the most stable platform from which to fish.

Photo puzzler, Picasso Fishing Buddies: It was upside down

Three comments on the photo captioned Picasso's Fishing Buddies were received.

Doyle Lloyd, wrote, "That picture looks like it's upside down."

A note signed "Doug," said, "It's upside down."

And Patrick Huff wrote, "It is upside down, huh?."

They are right. And all the answers came almost immediately after the photo puzzler was posted on Wednesday, July 25, 2007, with the note from the photographer, "This is straight from camera, but for 1 thing...". Thanks, Doyle and Doug.
