Many anglers put little or no effort into being on the water when the fish are the most active. To most anglers any time that they can go fishing is the best time to be on the water, and there's truth to this statement, but with a little education an anglers success rates can be increased dramatically. I'm not referring to becoming a scholar on subjects live the weather and moon either; I'm simply referring to spending a little bit of time understanding how things such as the weather and moon impact out ability to catch fish.
Have you ever had one of those epic days fishing, where it seemed like you could do no wrong? When it seemed as if no matter what you threw into the water resulted in fish being caught? Not only were a lot of fish being caught, but they were quite large as well? Well, days such as this are a ton of fun, and happen because you're on the water when the fish are the most active. And the fish being active has to do with the weather and moon.
These incredible days fishing are because you're on the water when both the weather and moon are in your favor, rather than just one of them. When you understand how these two factors really affect fishing, you can begin to plan your fishing trips accordingly. This way you can be on the water when the fish are the most active as much as possible.
Many anglers simply think that fish biting is due to the type of bait or lure that they're using or worse, that fish bite or don't bite based on dumb luck. The truth is that the bait and/or lure that you employ obviously have an affect, but the fish being active has a larger affect. This is why familiarizing yourself <a target="_new" href="http://stores.lulu.com/jrwfishing">with the weather and moon</a> and the way they impact fish behavior is so important.
To a certain degree, through gaining this knowledge you can make sure that you're on the water when the odds are in your favor and the fish are the most active. The easiest thing to do is make sure that you always plan your fishing trips during full or new moon phases. Fish are always more active, and thus bite more readily <a target="_new" href="http://www.jrwfishing.com/signup.asp">during these two moon phases</a>.
My point is that there are some times of the day, week, and/or month that are better for fishing than others, and as anglers we should be aware of such information. The more knowledge we gain, the better anglers we become, it's as simple as that. And besides, what's the worst that can happen? That I'm full of crap and you continue to have the same amount of fishing success as you have always had? That's the worst that could happen. On the other hand, maybe there's truth to what I'm saying, and you'll begin to catch more fish. Employ this information and see what happens? You won't be disappointed.
