BEST TIMES TO FISH

You may calculate the Prime Fishing Times for any place is the U.S. by first going to the  MOON CALCULATOR but note the longitude and latitude in the table below. The model only recognizes major towns, so use the table's longitude and latitude cited for those not listed.


CALCULATE: SUNRISE-SUNSET-MOONRISE- MOONSET

The majority agree the times of the sun and moon rise and set have a direct effect on the feeding activities of fish and game worldwide. There is a definite correlation of feeding activities when the moon is straight overhead (MOON TRANSIT) and or on the opposite side of the earth. With the Moon Calculator you can know all of these times anywhere in the U.S. and plan your fishing activities around these times, the moon phases and the weather.

There are a many good solunar tables; but can never be printed to be accurate for exactly where you are fishing. The Moon Calculator can give you accurate times for any town that is close to where you will be fishing. Most Major feeding times last from 2 to 2.5 hours and Minor feeding times last from 1 to 1.5 hours. This process will help you determine when the fish are going to be most active on any given day. Go to the MOON CALCULATOR   which calculates the "MOON TRANSIT" time which is the first MAJOR Feeding Time for where you are fishing. The second MAJOR for that 24 hour period will be approximately 12 1/2 hours later. Tight Lines!!
