This is in response to the recent post ," when do you know its time to pack up"

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.
