when do you know its time to go fishing

#1 Post by willie bendit »

This is in response to the recent post ," when do you know its time to pack up"
Usually when I hear the words "painting,gardening",and other d.i.y related nasties...I think "its been ages since I was on the beach" 8) 8) 8) 8) :shock:

THE WORLD NEEDS MORE PICTURES OF PEOPLE HOLDING FISH
AND LESS PICTURES OF PEOPLE HOLDING CAMERAS IN BATHROOM MIRRORS!

Some people fish by the stages of the moon.
Have a gander at this,

Plenty of info on the web about the moon and tide interaction (Solunar) on the the feeding habits of fish.
