Full Moon Fishing at Canyon Lake

Hey Everybody!

How's everyone fishing, any trophies to tell us about? Well we've been wishing and hoping for that big ole bass to strike our lure! I can just feel it lately; I know that it's just a matter of time before I can reel in my personal best, at least hoping so. My Husband Justin has got his personal best on the wall and it's beautiful. He's been telling me all year, if I can bring in a bass 5lbs or larger, he'll mount it for me. HOW COOL, Right? My personal best Large-mouth Bass is about 4.5lbs, and I'm so close! So, it's been on and we're hard at work every day we possibly can hit the water!

As everyone knows we LOVE fishing Canyon Lake in Arizona; it's a tough lake to fish but always rewarding with a great catch! In other words, we like to call it the Land of the Lurkers. So Last, weekend Friday August 8 - 10th was an incredible full moon, and we fished the lake as long as possible. Friday we kayaked fished all around Boulder and the lake marina. It was a memorable night, the moon was so bright the water and mountains were all lite up. It seemed the fish were feeding heavily; they were literally jumping out of the water and flipping back in. It's no kidding a Full Moon does wonders to things. :) It was an incredible site! Justin and I did fairly well that night, Justin caught about 4 Large Mouth, and I caught my best in a night 6 Largemouth Bass!! Can you believe that? I couldn't, actually every-time I seem to catch a fish it never seizes to amaze me. It's those little joys of surprise that I love living for!

It's been tough on the water with monsoon weathers on and off; it constantly seems to change the fishing pattern. But we seem to manage and enjoy ourselves either way! The waters seem to be real busy lately; it's awesome to see so many anglers out there. For us, we are thinking everyone is trying to get those last great trophies of summer fishing. Just before winter sweeps through and fish go deep for an even more challenging catch.

Cactus Wren Outdoors is currently working on some awesome bait to be released real soon! As you can see in our photos below, they are so producing fish and decent ones at that. We are incredibly excited for you to try fishing them and discovering "The Reaction You've Been Waiting For!"
Thank you for following along, tell us your favorite summer fishing experiences! We love hearing feedback!  Until next time, fish on friends!

Tight Lines,
