does anyone follow moon phases etc.

Was wondering if anyone follows the lunar cycles and tidal actions to help decide when to go fishing. A New and
Full moon coming up.Various charts say that the fish activity will be high.

Moon, no moon. Tidal movement, no tidal movement. High tide, low tide. Doesn't really matter. What matters is just being able to get out on the water when you can. I know the moon and stars don't always line up when I have a free day to fish. Go anyways.

Phone app might be of help for sunset/rise moonrise/set

I dunno how it will impact the bite, but it might be nice to know for timing launchin' etc.

"Sundroid" is a an app new to me. Just wanted to know "when it would get dark" etc. as daylight hours change and wanting to get my arse outta work and on the water.

Full moonrise might be nice, just to time the float, visibility. Last night you could read a newspaper the moon was so bright.

You mean the moon phase has something to do with fish patterns?

IMHO, Moon phase and tide changes is a big factor in catching fish!
