HUKDONFAWNIX Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Hi everyone, Does anyone use this calendar to plan their fishing trips? Do they work? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Get yourself a copy of John Alden Knight's Original "Solunar Tables" and also get "Moon up, moon down" by the same author. He is the authority. edited to add: If you can't find them locally, you can order them through Rollie and Helen's Musky Shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranks bait Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I plan my trips on whenever I can go. I don't go much by the lunar. Although when I am out night fishing it is nice to have the extra light to be able to see the dingy's and jet ski's running full out with no lights on.

HUKDONFAWNIX Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I'm going fishing this weekend and I just happened to notice it will be a full moon on the 4th. Apparently fishing improves 3 days before and after a full or new moon. Does it actually increase my odds of having a great fishing day? Or is it just a myth?

Circadian rhythms control processes in plants, animals, bacteria... There are many factors that could contribute to active vs. less active feeding, but solar and lunar cycles definitely play a part.

bigugli Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 Moon phases play there part, but so do high and low pressure cells and approaching weather fronts. I don't rely on just the one source of info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backbay Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 I fish when I can fish, but for sure I get keen when the moon is right and i know I'll be on the water.... (this weekend!!!!). I'll also be on the water for moonrise and set, if possible. As others have said though, it's only one factor. The weather plays a bigger role, IMO.
