the moon

sat.14, 4 bass
sun.15, 10 bass
mon.16 20 bass fished past midnite into 17th. NEW MOON.
tue. 17, 3 bass fished past midnite into the 18th.
on the nite we had 20 we also got dogs,coddling,pollock,coalies,flounders
the fishing started to get very good from midnite on the 16th.
think a dawn session on the 17th. would have been very good.

Thats some serious fishing!!!!

Just remind me, how does that theory go again :? ?

Just remind me, how does that theory go again :? ?

the days of both new and full moon are the best days.
the times each day of moon rise,transit and set are the best times.
the days of first and last quarter are good days for fewer bigger fish.

Is there a moon chart you can look up????????????????? and were will I find it.

colin.. look at this post

i have put it up a page on my website that has a clock/calendar and a moon clock which tells you what percent the moon is full..

Or look at the tide charts... biggest tide equals new or full moon.

biggest tides usually fall 2 - 3 days after new and full moons not on the day of the moon itself

Cheers Kraken!

May 16th here i come! :D

Good man Al -
was thinking the exact same thing myself - looks good to fish from about 4pm to 10pm

Not that I know too much about it but from reading all the posts etc thats what I am picking up from it.

Errr... lads, isn't there a bass closed season????? :wink:

Whats a Bass??? :? :wink: :wink:

Only kidding :D :D - there are more than Bass in the sea and (correct me if i'm wrong but) they can be returned if you catch them - thats not against the law of the closed season??
Its only illegal to target/keep Bass in the closed season. (thats what the poster in my local tackle shop says anyway :roll:

Anyone know anything different??

Yes there is :D...I was talking about fishing in general not targeting Bass...sadly there are not many bass where i fish :(

Here's a moon chart worth looking at http://www.angelfire.com/sports/huntfishmaui/moon.html

at the bottom of the chart see the fishing link, click on it and see some awesome shore caught fish.
