The last quarter moon occurs Thursday at 12:10 p.m. and causes an excellent early-morning feeding migration which starts at 5:30 a.m. and ends approximately four hours later from 9:30 to 10 a.m. ...more

The full moon happens today at 5:30 p.m., and with all daytime full moons, the effects during the daytime are as accentuated as the regular increased nighttime affects. If this moon phase occurred at 1 a.m., the nighttime feeding migration would be off the charts and the daytime feeding migration would be almost non-existent. ...more

This week, expect a fading afternoon feeding migration — which started with the new moon last Tuesday — and a rapid building of a new morning feeding migration brought on by the first quarter moon phase, which happens at 3:04 p.m. Tuesday. If we experience rain during the night, the very early morning bite (5 a.m. to 7 a.m.) — should be very good. If not, the affects of the moon will trigger fish to move into feeding areas by 8 a.m. This new morning feeding migration will increase in intensity and duration dramatically each day for the next seven days. ...more

The New Moon arrives today at 7:23 p.m. which means the angler is in for the best fishing conditions of the month. This New Moon is closer to the earth than previous New Moons and this only enhances the usual affects of this phase of the moon cycles. The main daytime feeding migration occurs from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and rates as a 10 on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best rating. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the feeding migration is literally off the ratings chart. ...more
