Hi
Just reading up on the impact of the moon on feeding habits of fish.
With this in mind I wish to conduct a social experiment on Sunday 21st of November.
According to the research, and with reference to the Moon, is concentrate your fishing efforts at two specific times of the month.
That time is the three to four day period that coincides with either the Full or New Moon.
On Sunday 21st the moon moves into its Full Moon Phase.
Further to this, another factor which influences such feeding habits is the rising and setting of the moon.
The important thing to remember with regards to the moon rising and setting is that fish are more active during a 90 minute window surrounding this event.
On Sunday the Moon rises at 15:24 and sets at 08:04, so 45 minutes either side of this should in theory provide to be the most fruitful period of the day.
Therefore, the experiment is simple.
If you have blanked in the last few weeks - and I include myself here - then head out to the riverbank on Sunday and see whether this lack of success has a turn around.
Also jot down the times of your catches to see if this coincides with the rise and the set of the moon.
Then report back on Monday with your results
