Ranger 48 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Pretty easy when you know what you are looking at, and I swear by the almanac.It rates each day by moon phases, and we know tides are governed by the moon.Each day of the year is designated by colours. The lighter the colour, the worst for fishing, the darker the colour the better for fishing(best. good, fair, poor)Each day, it also gives the two best times for fishing.The idea is to look for the darkest colour and watch the two best fishing times on that day!Yu'll also find the dark colour BLACK coincides with a full or a new moon!I've found it's VERY accurate, and it WILL help your catch rate!

Weedie 1 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Ok Ranger,So on April 25th the colour is grey so that means it is good for fishing and the times are above:10:48 below:11:15.So i fish at thoes times yeah is that right.When it is black i defently go fishing at the times it says,so if i go fishing at the time it says how long can i fish for.So if it is white i mise well stay home right.Hope you understand thanks Marc.

Ranger 48 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 NO WAY! April 25th means ANZAC DAy so get out and support your country!Apart from that, white = stay at home. Black = go fishing.Be out fishing the two times they recommend on the "black" days, and they will no doubt co-incide with the high tides! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Big Ian 0 Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 And dont forget to adjust the time for where you are, there is a map inside the back cover.Also when daylight savings is in place you need to adjust for that as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
