I've been told that a female egg sac will hydrate like a big bass just before spawning and she'll weigh a lot more than even a few hours previous. But you'll never get her to bite at that time.
^^^ What he said!

Yes I always found that 3 days before and 3 days after full moon on high salinity incoming tide. June July and August possibly may, I've noticed that May and June are when the big girls fall victim to an angler. Unfortunately VB salinity is usually low in early months and I catch my bigger fish September, October before the big schools of trout migrate for the fall run.
