Hard to find patterns and when you think you got it sussed it all goes out window. Last year best day was a cold east wind and flat sea getting knocked down by wind. Was a cracking session. No sense to it as a rule just got get out Always fish building tides; best raying tides imo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How many lads have had memorable nights lamping on a windless full moon? How many signature pheasant drives go into the sun and wind? For a lot of lads, like myself, you get out when you can and just make the most of it. I personally believe there is favourable factors; for my type of fishing no moon, low pressure, bit of surf, water above 13° and its not very often you get them all (when we did we had 25 smalleye between 3 of us in 3 hours) so you have to look for 1 or 2 of these conditions Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 44,287 Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 For freshwater and especially still water fishing, weather systems matter more then the moon. I personally never found any correlation between the moon and gravel pit/clay pit/chalk pit fishing Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I personally never found any correlation between the moon and gravel pit/clay pit/chalk pit fishing It's probably the tide more than the moon. I wonder if that means fishing in tide-less saltwater's, like the Med, aren't really effected by the moon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Completely disagree, same tides on no moon and full moon and a new moon or cloud covered moon is much better imo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
