The New Moon occurs today at 7:14 p.m. and will be of medium-strength because the moon is six days away from its apogee. Therefore, there will be three moderate feeding migrations over the next three days that reach a 5 or 6 on the 1-10 scale, with 10 being the best rating. ...more

Finally, I think it might be safe to say that anglers can expect constant fishing factors that are more favorable than unfavorable; the wind seems to be mostly from a northerly direction and between 10-18 mph on the water, and the water temperatures exactly where fish feed best at, and more often. ...more

Today the last quarter moon phase officially arrives at 5:47 p.m. and with it comes enough lunar influence to create the best late-afternoon feeding migration of the month. However, today's late-afternoon to evening bite might be a bit slow and less than it normally would be, because of the arrival of a minor front yesterday and the subsequent mass feeding it produced. ...more

During the waning full moon phase two fish feeding migrations develop both in duration and intensity at the same time.
