I have read several theories and find that every one of them are
confusing in that they introduce undefined terms. If you understand
the theory, I would like to correspond in order to clarify the theory.

The theory is simple - the position of the sun and moon affect animal activity.

An old saying is it is always best to fish or hunt when the moon is above or
below you. If you look at a chart for the best times you will see this.

I understand most of the theory but no where do I see an explanation
of the major and minor periods and how they are determined. There are
other things but can you explain that for starters?

Do you really just want explantions of the theory, or do you want a
way to get wild fish and game? If the latter, pick one method and use
it religously, whether or not you understand it, until you've found if
it does or doesn't work for you. If it works, then try to figure it
out, which will be much easier once you've practiced it. If it
doesn't work, go on to the next method and give that a shot (at least
one fishing or hunting season for each method, btw.).

Frankly, this stuff is something like (closely related) astrology.
Theories abound. The ones that make sense may not work as well as the
ones that go by rigid rules but have no explanations that are worthy
of even reading, much less expounding. Yes, it's doofy, but just
work with it until you've got the knowledge base. Many things that
work don't _have_ a sensible theory or explanation. Sort of like
gravity before someone named and quantified it. But I doubt any
Newton's going to come along to do close theory on fishing and
hunting.

Um, might be wise to practice all the associated skills of the sport,
too. For example, it doesn't matter if you've got the figures all
set up for when deer will be wandering the woods if you walk like King
Kong or if you can't shoot straight or can't follow spoor.

I think I found something that half way explains Major and Minor
periods. In an article by Rick Taylor he says the following: "Just
calling the moon's overhead position "Major" strongly suggests it is
to be considered the best time to go that day, regardless of what
other influences may exist. " Does this mean that the Major period is
the moon overhead period and the minor period is the moon under
period? If so, what are the starting and stopping points? I can not
find that explained. Yes, some of articles say that the major is
about 1 1/2 hrs and the minor about 1 hr. but I haven't seen an
explanation as to how they determine the start and stop.

Yes, I had read that. Now rereading it I guess you consider Moon Up
and Moon Down as the Major Periods and the halfway points between them
as the minor periods. Is that the way you interpret it? By the way,
do you believe that following these charts helps?

My only experience was about 2 years ago I was fishing at sundown when
the moon was full and rising. In 30 minutes, 20 casts and 20 fish.
I was fishing in a large pool under a spillway on a creek in Arkansas.
About 8 smallmouth bass, about 5-6 shadow bass and the rest brem. I
have never seen anything like it.

I usually don't pay much attention to it. Indirectly, I guess you can say I
follow the tides. Just about all my fishing is in sal****er and affected by
tide movement. I find that I catch more fish between one hour before and
one hour after a tide peak. I like a falling tide better then a rising one
due to areas I fish.

If I look at the tide charts and the solunar charts they best fishing times
are pretty close to the same.

There is an old saying by that the best fishing is when the moon is overhead
or under your feet.

Best trip was 25 specks, 5 reds , and 1 black drum in 1.5 hours. Burned 52
gallons of fuel in the boat and 15 gallons in my truck pulling the boat.
Left home at 4 AM and returned home 11 AM. The drive was 1.5 hours each
way. My wife was shocked to see me home so early because normally I don't
return home until 4 or 5 PM.

All were caught using artificial lures on a falling tide. Fished a shallow
dead end canal in a hole and every cast was a fish. Was throwing back fish
to try and catch another species. The canal was shaped like an thermometer.
In the bulb end was a well head with a hole dug behind the well. The canal
was no longer then 200 yards and three foot deep average with the deepest
spot being the hole which is about 6 foot. The hole is only about 15 foot
in diameter. I could not use my outboard to exit the canal since there
canal was loaded with at least 150 other boats.

Every boat on the canal was catching redfish. As one boat would move out
the hole another would move in to take its place by the hole so they could
try and catch some specks instead of just reds.
