Current Moon Phase
(Updated Daily)

Monthly peaks in both the full and new moon are a factor definitely worth considering.  When fish of all sizes are feeding infrequently due to a prolonged streak of bad local weather conditions, that small "window" of three to four days right after the actual moon peaks, full or new, may be the only time that the largest fish of any species is truly catchable.  Fishing during the daily rise or set of the sun and moon during these key monthly moon phases is paramount.

Weather is also a legitimate factor, and helps to elevate the impact of the daily rise and set of the sun or moon.  It further elevates the entire realm of big fish possibilities when all factors happen at relatively the same time.  A changing weather pattern combined with a good monthly moon phase and rise or set of either sun or moon can activate some major movement from big fish.  If all of these things happen during a good photoperiod, LOOK OUT!  This is when the biggest fish of the year are generally caught. If your serious about taking such a fish, I'd suggest you start really paying attention to the real scoop on moon phases!  Trust me -- this stuff really works!
