Fishing by the Sulunar.
If u want to catch bass/fish 95% of the time......if u want catch over 100 bass several times a season, "like i do 8) ". if i only fished the best 20 days each season i would expect over 1000 bass...in july this yr fished the same mark 11 times over 900 bass, x2 days ova 150,.. 1 day x2 anglers 200+, 30 over 4lbs. the guy i was guidin had never caught a bass before he ended up wit around 40, inc several bubble shots.

thats a beauty, lovely to see.

gotta agree with you on the addition of lunar tables etc to more and more web sites. seems you have educated a few, including myself.
i have been using it regularly and its working for me, just a pity we had a few more of those bigger fellas up north.
