Perhaps combining the solunar tables with stabilizing weather patterns is a
good approach if you can only fish a certain amount in a given week and you
are flexible in when that can be.

I have started paying attention to these tables this week and both times the
weather was less than optimal. For instance, just as we started fishing
Monday night when a peak solunar time started, a massive thunderstorm
(fortunately, no lightning) ripped through with 40 MPH winds for 20 minutes.
Then it cleared and we saw a really intense double rainbow. That made the
whole trip as the shoreline was well lit with sunlight catching the redbuds
and dogwoods blooming. We caught a few crappie, but the fishing was pretty
dead. Last night, I went trout fishing during the solunar peak period, but
did not have much luck. The temperature dropped almost 20 degrees from the
day before because of the cold front that came through with the
thunderstorms the day before.

I may learn more on Thursday evening as I am going back out crappie fishing.
The temperature will be back to normal, the weather will be stable, and
there is a peak solunar period that evening. We'll see how that combination
works! :-)

Hi all,

For those of you that have used the solunar tables, what has been your
experience? I know that there are many factors influencing fishing. I
was
just wondering how much stock people put into these tables. The theory
behind it sounds very interesting. A couple of years ago, my neighbor and
I
were lake fishing for trout and the trout were going nuts. All over the
lake, you could have at least a solid hit on every cast. Went home and
checked the solunar tables and sure enough, there was a very strong period
for that time. That craziness on the water lasted about 90 minutes.

I am a firm believer that any time is a good time to go fishing if you get
the chance. Just curious if any of you plan your day around these tables.
I figured I would play with them here for a few weeks just to see what
happens.

Thanks,
Jeff
