No one fishing?

This 20lb class fish and several others went nuts for a nighttime pencil turned by our own Bobber. It significantly out-fished magic swimmers, soft plastics, etc. The times I throw a pencil at night are far and few between, but I couldn't get a hit on my other offerings and the time and conditions indicated that there should be fish. As soon as it hit the water it got smacked as it did on many subsequent casts. We old dogs can still learn a thing or two.

Pencils mimic fleeing squid. Mid to Late May is squid breeding time. (If i remember right…)

Squids would need to be confused to be where I was... I regularly toss a pencil there during light hours but not typically at night. Foolishness on my part, I suppose, as it is prime conditions for it, darkness aside.
