hi cortaz,
tomorrow the new moon is the first of the new lunar year; maybe it will be extra special for fishing.
the moon/sun rise and set times all coincide and so do the transit times. in which case would you decide when to fish by the tide/mark or just say sod it and go all-day?

hi jal, the weather is bad here at the moment, gales every day or 2 and i have not fished much so far this yr. tomorrow the sun+and moon are in transit just after L.W. 12ish,(spring tides) M.S.+S.S. @ 5.30ish = h.w. so i would fish say from 11.30 till 2ish, then again from about 4 till 6.30.

thanks for replying so quick cortaz - i hadn't realised the weather's been consistently bad there in ireland. i will try the times you suggested tomorrow and post here if i hit the jackpot ;).
24th jan i went out and caught a decent sized bream, it goes to show there's something in this magick! - most sessions here in spain i catch f all :( and that also goes for most of the local anglers i speak to!
cheers

hey art. when you say the moon or suns in transit, do you mean straight overhead. cheers.
am slowly getting to grips with it. honest. :shock:

yep, and on the day of n.m. both the sun/moon are in transit at about the same time 12/12.30ish depending on time of yr.

ill get my book out now and check it all off. might have sunk in by the summer. cheers art. :D :D

so i would fish say from 11.30 till 2ish, then again from about 4 till 6.30.

fished both these times last week cortaz (thurs 7th feb) and found there to be a lot of activity, fish not biting all the time but definitely they were on the feed. i had 2 wrasse the first trip and 3 the second, quite young fish so all went back safely, a bit disappointed not to take home my dinner! cheers again for your advice. i'll follow the moon more closely from now on. hope the weather's gotten better there in ireland for you all.

paul, "chances of a decent session"= very slim :( if ye fish from 2/7 i think the best time will be around 6pm.
