How many of you plan on fishing through the eclipse?

I was going to but thought it might be super crowded at the two places I was wanting to go to. Sounds like it will be a zoo on the roads tomorrow.

I drove back from Rock Hall, Maryland yesterday and the roads were a zoo... Not to bad going through Washington at 5:00 AM in the morning which is always a zoo whether your driving or not. But I-64, I-81, and I-40 was a mess for people heading to Tennessee. You would be running 75 MPH one minute then come to a complete stop for no apparent reason?. Then take off again. The rest stops was more like a carnival ... Literally hundreds of people and the men's restroom had lines coming out of the door to the street. And lines of cars backed up on the entrance ramp to find parking ... All for 2.5 minutes of Darkness ...

I always do my Kroger grocery run on Sunday afternoon. I went yesterday and it was no different than any other Sunday except for the one Japanese couple that were speaking Japanese. Traffic this morning into Nashville was a breeze. I wish the traffic into Nashville was like this everyday!!

That was one of the coolest things I've ever witnessed. Prefect weather here at the office.

You have been in the dark for so long I am surprised you noticed the eclipse.

That was really cool. I fished JPP this morning. I left around 1130 because the heat was bad and there were just as much boat traffic as a holiday weekend. I didn't want to leave as the bass bite had just started getting good around 1030. On a side not it was awesome how the heat and humidity just disappeared for that 15 minutes or so during the eclipse. Hope all you guys got to see it bc I wasn't personally excited about watching it but my dad was very excited. I got to his shop around 1245 and the next hour spent watching the eclipse with him just made my day and his.

Someone called into 104.5 radio who was on the water and said the stripers/hybrids started busted at the surface right at totality. Not sure what lake he was on, guessing JPP.

Up around bledsoe it happened too, acres of shad flipping out the water being chased by whites and stripes right when it got dark, bats were even coming out flying around the water like it was sunset pretty cool, next one is in 2024 and we will have totality around reelfoot lake and the Mississippi.

Center Hill. Nothing changed from last Wednesday except after eclipse bait balls went deep and saw no top action not even gar. Insects and birds hushed in the back of The creek and saw a group of wood ducks fly over. 10 minutes after totality the insects started again. My chickens laid the least amount of eggs since 15 a day in spring got 6 eggs.

I was sure someone would have taken a pic of the event. Here's the only decent pic I got.

WOW! Haven't heard from you in more than a year and now you show up after this phenomenon. Should we expect to hear from you again in 2024?
Good to know you are still around.

Yeah I'm still alive but don't do much fishing anymore. Sold my boat to a member on this forum last year, and didn't even get a license till a few weeks ago so I could fish with one of my coworkers. I still lurk here from time to time to see how you guys are doing though.
