Solunar Calendar and Fishing

[admcd]

Hey, folks.

I've hit a dry spell at my fishing hole and am desperately casting (ha!) around for a slump buster (I've got one fish in the past three or four visits). Does anyone put stock in the solunar calendar for fishing? I'm given to understand that the position and phase of the moon can impact deer during the season, but what about fish? I see some folks who swear by it, others not so much.

Here it is. I have friends that swear by this and they do very well.

 

[admcd]

Thanks. The red underlines are, I assume, the "good" days?

 

[tysdad115]

Yes, those are the days to hit it hard.

By this time of year, and with pleasant weather, fishing pressure can get heavy. Altering presentation tactics works for me.

Other than a sharp drop in barometric pressure, I don't bother with factoring any other outside influences. Even if fishing gets slow, rarely do I get skunked. Alter depth, presentation, color, etc.

The best and largest fish I ever caught were totally contrary to everything anyone ever said, did, plotted, planned, baited, lured or charted on the moon phase or time of day.

Keep on fishing, you will have a winner and then be wise and with knowledge.
