I didn't have plans to fish Friday night since it was my better half's birthday. 
On the way home from NC, I mentioned to her that it'd be a nice night for a little fishing ,believe it or not, she agreed and said she would like to go too. Ended up launching at Penhook around 11 p.m. and headed down lake. Went to a point and the ales were up on the rip-rap and the fish were feasting on them. I threw and threw the usual stuff and just couldn't get a bite. I was wondering if the waxing gibbous moon was the problem. After about two hours I figured them out. Instead of casting from deep water to the bank I decided to throw from the bank to deeper water. It worked. Only problem was....I was tired and so was my date. Ended up catching four fish...including one nice fish over 30 inches. Since the June full moon was approaching and called the honey moon... I decided to call it quits at 2 a.m. and headed for the bed. (John, I went to sleep...I swear)
Side note: I couldn't buy a bite with the F18, Thundersticks, Bomber or Xraps. I did ,however, have good luck with a Xcalibur XR50. Love those things.
