I guess I am going to have to pay closer attention to where you are fishing next time Says.    

I was throwing a white spinner around one of the islands after it got really dark.  Seemed like a possibility at the time, but to no avail.  Where is the most likely spot once it gets dark?  Points?  Drop offs?  Maybe the problem is, I don't change my thinking between fishing during the daytime and fishing at night.  ???

Jdub, everything thrown at night should be black, or so I've read over the years.  I haven't had much luck at night, but I'll definetly be night fishing the next full moon it if falls close to a weekend.

My buddy Dan and I went last night around 7-10 and boated some fish.  I caught a 1lber and one around 2-2.5lbs smallie and Dan landed a 2.5lb largemouth along with a number of dinks.  I missed a huge hit that nearly took the rod out of my hands.   I don't know what it is lately, but I've been losing a lot of fishes lately. 

Went out yesterday around 6:30-10pm and only landed 2 in the 1-1.5lb range along with some dinks.  Lost a nice largemouth that was around 3lbs at the boat.

I have had both great night bites on Sawyer and no bite nights as well. One of the best topwater nights I have ever had (Next to lake Wapatoad a few weeks ago with Baker) was on Sawyer. Launched around 9:30 and did not get a fish until about 12:15 then it was pure pandamonium. Throwing a 5 inch perch pattern jointed floating Rapala. At one point I had a fish in my hand and pitched the Rapala over the side of the boat after I unhooked the fish. Then about a second later SMASH!!!!  Right next to the boat and my rod is heading into the lake. I hand the fish of to my dad and said hold this I am busy as I cranked in another fish. It was crazy like that for about 2 hours. For a while it was a fish on almost every cast you made. They were mostly decent fish as well..... You know what the no bite nights were like ..... We have all had them.
