Is this a real phenomenon or am I just remembering the few fish that do come when I'm nearly done and forget that:

a) I'd already had half a dozen 'last casts' and would have had another handful if I hadn't caught a fish
b) forgetting the 200 other last cast sessions that didn't bring anything
c) last casts often come during prime time i.e. evening time when the light change is/has taken place so more likely to catch a fish anyway
d) was lucky to catch a fish for whatever reason close to pulling the pin, so naturally left on the last cast
e) all of the above

Caught a nice fish the other night on a 'last cast' after not seeing much earlier in a spot that I wouldn't normally have picked for a bigger fish, and remembered more than a few others that had come from a last cast over the years.

Should start a fishing diary and watch it more closely. At the very least, more research is needed LOL

All of the above, Steve.
I posted on WHATEVER, a report about exactly that, last week.
I admit, openly, it would not have been my last cast if I was armed with a torch.
Lively fish, lure, flailing hooks and no light, all add up to DISASTER!
Better to unhook in front of car headlights, than risk the injuries that would happen.

It IS a phenomenon, made by us!!!
Is it not a great way to end a trip???

Jas I think that is a great idea when are we going fishing you can drive the boat and position the electric and mate more than heppy for you to have a cast at the end of the day
