predictable fishing.

do you mean to say you cach more bass on a full moon or a start to a new moon? :shock:

flip,
the day of N.M. is the best day by a mile.+ the day before is very good.
then the day before F.M. and for 4 days after. there are a sharp rise in catches 3 days after both N. and F.
pat,
the 3 days before F.Q. are the worst days of the lunar month.
how i would rate the lunar month of october 07.

there are more salmon caught on Cs. every yr. than all the other lures combined. they are i.m.o. the best allround lure ever invented.

paul, best to stay home this weekend :( next wkendoffers a much better chance.

hi cortaz, if the moon is in the first quarter, how would it effect the fishing?

Thanks Art,

But we've bought the bait :( .We will give it a try..sure it's a day out anyway !!!

hi cortaz, if the moon is in the first quarter, how would it effect the fishing?

M.C. take a look at the recent tramore big bass report,,not good for numbers...all of the specimen bass reported in waterford this yr. have been taken a day before/after/on day of first Q.
its a o.k. time of month to fish...
