YES! A week off and its a new moon! I cant wait to get out of here and get on the water! I dont plan my fishing around moon phases (because I fish so often) but when my fishing falls on a good phase I get so excited!
What does everyone else think about moon phases and their influence on the fishing?
New Moon is also called Dark Moon. Its when you see no moon at all in the sky because the earth is completely between it and the sun so it's all shaded and dark. In other words its when 100% of the dark side of the moon is facing us.
The next New Moon is the 22nd of October. So today, the 19th, through the 25th are the best times of the month to fish and I am off till the 23rd! Yeee Hawww!! lol!
Typically, I fish whenever I get a chance and I don't have the freedom to pick and choose the best times to go. However, I have noticed when I have caught or missed a big fish - then I will go find a lunar chart when I get home - that on those days they were on a peak time for catching fish
