5/4/2023 0 Comments Moon phase tide graph![]() ![]() These moon phases are another element in Solunar Tables and are a good reason why many anglers buy calendars that show the moon phase. The important thing is that more and bigger fish can generally be caught just before, just after or during a new moon or full moon. We do know that the full moon provides the most night-time light and the new moon provides no moonlight. The reason is still a mystery, though there are some theories that would probably bore the average reader. More than three-fourths of the record gamefish are caught within three days before, three days after, or during a new moon or full moon. These periods are one of the ingredients in a Solunar Table.įish, like most wildlife and even humans, are directly influenced by lunar phases and moon position. As a result, there are usually three or four “solar periods,” including dawn, dusk and one or two mid-day periods. Fish also get hungry between these big meals, so they’ll often feed sometime during mid-day. This means that most gamefish know from experience that they can catch baitfish more easily at dawn and dusk, which makes dawn and dusk two key solar periods. Many predatory fish have eyes that adjust to changes in light faster than their prey’s eyes. Ever checked a Solunar Table? How about a Tide Chart or Moon Phase Calendar? Does this stuff really work? The answer is yes, but it’s not infallible, because Solar periods, moon phases, and moon position are still affected by weather (especially changes in barometric pressure).
