How the Moon effects Your Fishing:


If you’ve ever looked for it, there’s enough information about the lunar effects on fishing to literally choke a horse. I tried to do it one time, choke a horse with this information, and the next thing I knew I was performing the Heimlich maneuver on a freaking' horse! I'm going try to simplify this information for you as much as humanly possible in this book. Although some people may disagree, we’re not talking about rocket science here; we're just trying to catch more fish. And the things you need to know really aren't that complicated.
 
Understanding how fish adapt to changes in their environment allows an angler to better predict a fishes' movement and feeding. Finding out when a fish is feeding is what we're interested in, as you learned with the weather, because that's when you have the best chance of catching said fish. You may know that almost all saltwater fishermen check the tides before they head out fishing. And it’s a great strategy because the tides do impact fishing, especially saltwater fishing. You do realize what causes the tides to change, don't you? That's right, the moon. The gravitational pull of the moon not only impacts the changing tides but is also pushing against some part of the earth at all times. Since water is more easily moved than the ground, water is lifted up towards the moon causing the tides to change. How high the high tide will rise, and how low the low tide may go is largely determined by the position of the moon.
 
Remember that fish can detect changes in pressure through their lateral lines? Wouldn't it stand to reason that fish can detect these pressure changes just like they detect pressure changes caused by the weather?

Phases of the Moon can and do effect fish migrations. Steelhead, Salmon and Trout tend to be more active during a Full Moon on their migrations to their spawning beds in the gravel.
