I just want to add some flavor guys that's all and contribute to this forum. This is what it's all about right?
It may not work 100% of the time but the probability is there based from my experience.

I used to be like you when I started fishing some 20 years ago. For a while, I even check religiously with the solunar charts to see if I can find any patterns.

Today, I don't even bother to check anymore. In fact, I would say fishing based on the solunar chart doesn't add anything to your favour if you are basing your fishing solely on the position of the sun and moon. On the contrary, it is detrimental since you are biasing too much on the charts themselves, which discourages you from fishing on the non-prime days.

As I mentioned above, just go fishing when you can. The only environmental factor that should stop you from fishing is inclement weather that threatens your safety...or, unless you know under certain circumstances that fish will not bite. For example, it's a bit foolish to fish for Gar when the water is less than 50F as Gar activity is largely dependent on their metabolism, and their metabolism is largely influenced by water temperature.

Appreciate that you try to add flavour and discussion to the forum, which is great. I'm just offering my experience on the topic and help members open their minds when possible.
