Every fisherman knows that fish do not feed all the time. He
knows, also, that for some reason fish often go on the feed and take most any offering, be it live bait or artificial. To be sure, fish usually feed actively at sunrise and sunset, but generally, the real fishing of the day is at the “odd hour” feeding periods. If the weather and feeding conditions are favorable the fish will be active for one to two hours.
For those fishermen who enjoy fishing at sunrise and sunset here are the absolute best dates to be on the water at your favorite spot.
These are the Major or Minor Solunar Periods that fall
near the times of Sunrise or Sunset during a Full or New Moon.
It has been documented that when this condition exists fish will bite on anything they see or smell. Limits are almost guaranteed
provided there are fish in the vicinity.
It’s no secret that fish and game tend to feed during dawn
and dusk (sunrise and sunset). What amplifies the activity is the effect of a moonrise or moonset plus the specific monthly periods of New (dark) and Full (light) Moons.
When the times coincide with a moon-rise or a moon-set the
action can be spectacular.
Finally, a change in the local weather coinciding with the periods
will further enhance the activity. |
