Dont think it Can't happen to U .. thanx bassorbass for opening my eyes to this ... I am sure we have all dodged a couple flying lures spit out by a fish or a hookset gone awry .. Take measures to prevent this . Get a a good set of polarized glasses U will be amazed how many fish u can see n how better protected u are from a Calamity like the ones posted .. Good Safe Fishing to all ..
I have been preaching about sunglasses to people for years. Its one of the most important tools in a fishermans arsenal. Not only do they protect your eyes from flying lures, but it keeps bugs, branches and most importantly the glare from the sun OUT. After a day of fishing with out them the fatigue turns into a headache from the glare of the sun...that being said. I can spot movement and silhouetes from afar with my sunglasses on, when with out them its a shot in the dark (almost). They dont have to be hardcore sunglasses the ones from bps or walmart are good enough for fishing.
By Night Fishing I mean sundown untill its to the point where u cant see what ur doing . Never really was a big fan of treble hooks in the dark ..lol I would give it a shot tho , get a head band light or clip on light ..
Oh, well that's a fish of a different color. Evenings are good, especially during the week when maybe the water hasn't been hit so hard by the weekend angler.
yea im actualy trying to get some of my buddies to do some night fishing my one co worker went the other night and showed me a pick of a big carp he caught[/i][/b]
