Raven,

I hadn't seen your earlier post. Good stuff!

Obviously, you've been in tune with the importance of the lunar cycles as it applies to fishing for some time now.

You mentioned that you use more refined measurements than other charts or calendars. What are some of the key factors you add to the equation?

What will you be doing during this year’s Corn Moon?

Back in 1974 I started pegging the days I wanted to be in the water at sunrise or sunset; in those days I wanted to intercept striped bass with a spear gun. The only tools I used back then were the Eldridge Tide chart and a chart showing times of sunrise and sunset. I would make it a point to be in the water at false dawn or close to dusk whenever that coincided with a high tide (best visibility and slack tide at the change) in Newport.

I really hope a few anglers from this site will put this theory to the test and report back on what they experienced.
