As per your request's...at the plug fest...
BUT.... as Mac and I agreed ...you go when you can go. period.:rtfm:

there are many other factors to take into account obviously.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
here is the year at a glance with the best days highlighted in green
and underlined in blue if in a water sign....which should be real good!
the days of moon in pisces ><> (best) have a red hot "dot" afterwards.
let me know at years end how it worked for ya. -R
__________________________________________________ _
these are also the days you plant gardens also....before the full moon ...leafy crops
like lettuce...tomatoes producing above ground and after the full moon you plant
your root crops: potatoes, carrots,onions ect. and its good for transplanting . trees
ok enough said - ENJOY

thanks shaman!

Raven,
Might you know why there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation with quality fishing days and the events of new and full moons?

thank you sir:btu: i'll take any bit of help i can get.
i almost missed it too.

I found it to be very helpful last year.Was wondering if you were going to post one for this year.Guess I can stop wondering.

Raven,

those are the times you try different techniques or a
different presentation ....or approach. maybe you need to chum
heavy....that day...

quote:
Research has shown that a natural day for fish and many other
animal species differ from our own. Their biological clock
appears to coincide with lunar time, which is the time that it
takes for the moon to reappear at a given point during one
complete rotation of the earth (an average of 24 hours and 53
minutes. This is called a Tidal Day and explains why the
ocean tides are about an hour later each day - and why most
fish, fresh water species included, will feed up to an hour later
(in relation to our solar clock) each day

please know that i have proved this theory time and time again for myself..
and i am still learning more...everytime i explore... the above link tells the story
and i have to say...it cleared up even some misconceptions i had.

where as fish have no eyelids they are atuned to changing light.
....they utilize several systems for bait location and predator evasion... one of the most interesting shows i've seen lately was with bill dance talking about how fish use the surface of their skin to feel things from afar that
they cannot see....and i believe there's something electrical or magnetic going on there too with the lateral line...

AT this one lake i fished at real often....it was demonstrated , or i witnessed this for myself and without a doubt..... one day... i was totally convinced afterwards.,,,,
i happened to be in the right spot at the right time kind of deal...
the sun was rising exactly just opposite a setting full moon...and the water seemed to be vibrating like a glass of water held in front of a stereo speaker....

it was a short lived phenomenon...but during that time i caught LARGE with little effort and i was amazed at the effect it had on the otherwise tranquil lake
that has huge fishing pressure. This was at around 8 :00 am. Since then i have made sure to repeat those conditions in both fresh and saltwater to take advantage of it. My calender is different from others because it uses a different (more refined) set of measurements...(i took the data and applied it to a calender.yes! but i didnt create it....i just made it available to the members of S-B) and it's one that is definately more accurate than others. It is much more accurate than the farmers almanac for example. they just blah blah.
It's so i can schedual my activities beforehand (tilling,cultivating) and have my free time or fishing time open so i can go during the most productive times.

sproing :devil:

Good stuff. Thanks Crow. That's scipture for fresh water heads.
