What are the Best Fishing Times?One of the most frequently asked questions of fishermen around the world is: Fishing Reminder not only aims to provide an answer to this question but even more importantly a practical solution. In this article I'm going to explain the theory behind the Best Fishing Times and Best Fishing Days and how Fishing Reminder calculates them.  So how does Fishing Reminder finds those times?ÂFirstly to find the Best Fishing Times for a day, Fishing Reminder calculates the Moon Up and Moon Down Times for that day. Secondly Fishing Reminder calculates the current Moon Phase and Moon Age. And thirdly it calculates Sunrise and Sunset times.
 Major Times = Moon Up and Moon Down Times
Peak Days are those days when Sun and Moon are closest to earth. Â Other day ratings are taken from the Maori Fishing Calendar which has a specific rating for each day in a moon cycle.Â
  What about Weather?ÂAnother important factor in determining the bite behaviour is the Local Weather.   Why Fishing Reminder?ÂThe idea of fishing reminder is to automatically remind fishermen of best fishing days.  It is always a good idea to check Fishing Reminder before setting out on a fishing trip, to see at a glance at what time you should be on the water to expect best action.   Some Technical StuffFishing Reminder is an Web 2.0 Application or Rich Internet Application, created with Adobe Flex. |

- Landed 1st big mulloway in swan but didnt use swivel. Maybe a fluke or do you think a joining uniknot is stronger because i tie good knots and line breaks, But this mulloway was around 20kilo and took a 35cm live tailor bait with a single live bait hook close to the flesh near tail instead of a snell rig, what do you think of snell rig for mulloway. Get to the swan because there is a good food chain and plenty of fish to go round, thanks Mark84
- Hello everyone name is Capt. Lonnyb "Roatan Anglers " am new to the group... was wondering is there a way how I can change my location from one location to another I have an incorrect location on my page and would like to change to Roatan, Bay Islands Honduras.

Roatan Anglers - Hi there
The fishing times day ratings here are a combination of moonphase and old predictions from maori fishing calendars.
So they might be slightly different from other sites, because they include more variables.
Usually the days just after full moon get a better rating then just before full moon.
cheers - The fishing predictions on this app seem to be incorrect. eg it says that today is a very poor day for fishing. It is the time of the full moon and that is usually a very good time. looking at other fishing apps and the local almanac it says the fishing times are excellent. It seems that you may have a problem with the predictions on this app. Other than that, the rest of the app ~ tides, sunrise, moon rise etc is excellent.
- Help.
I want to catch carp in the lake.
What type of bait used.

- big snook and sampson fish running with big taylor in the evening
- its all about best fishing times and increasing your chances to land some nice fish without spending most of your time wetting your lines in dead waters.
- new to here so whats it all about?????
- I don't use the Almanac for forecasting fishing times. I use this site as a reference and to check if my predictions and results match. THe new moon phase is always effective for me as long as there is no negative interference from the weather. It seems I catch fish well during the day of the new moon though the next few days following. This is a time in which the crescent of the moon is forming a cup under the moon as if to hold water in a bowl. Once the crescent begins to shift and spill water, the fish seem to slow in activity or stop biting altogether. When the moon is in full moon phase, or 98 to 100% it seems to be a good time to fish as well. If the moon is full and there is a white fuzzy ring arounf it, then the next day will be fantastic for fishing. I guess my grandfather was right when he said that when the moon appears to hold water, the fish activity is positive, when it spills water it's not. I have found this to be true.
- Use an almanac with a grain of salt. As I type this we have come from one red star poor day to another yet a couple of my friends in Freeport, Texas have been posting some pretty nice catch pics from the beach all night long. Tide charts are invaluable.
Remember, a bad day fishin is better than a good day at work and you ain't always gonna catch fish. That's why we call it fishin instead of catchin! - Hi David
I'm using the maori fishing calendar as model for the day ratings. This is a bit differnt from other systems. Full Moon days don't get such a high rating here. Not really right or wrong - just slightly different forecast model.
I might provide another rating system in the future so that fishos can select whatever works best for them. - your system is say tommorow is a poor day for fishing but the local almanac is say it is a awesome day? what is right?
- Thanks Markt.. thumbs up and tight lines man..!
- Hi nightshadow
the pdf should have two pages on the first page is only 1 day (last day of may) then 2nd page have june, etc - its alway one month per page.
hope that helps - Hi there the forcast section will only let me print 1 day out... how do I do a month report thanks.
- cant change/add location, click on "my locations" sits loading forever.
- Thanks for the comment. I agree, that a plastic, or real crawfish rigged weedless, dragged slowly through the bed can be a great way to get the attention of the tending mama bass. She will surely pick up the bait with intentions to relocate. Setting the hook is all "angler" skill here for sure. ROLL TIDE!
- RE bamasnap, countryboy91 - the spawn can be a great time to tie into some really good sized bass! Crawfish are natural predators of bass roe. Use a salty craw or other soft plastic crawfish rigged weedless and slowly walk it across the bottom, pausing often. When it gets close to a bed or even on a bed, the bass will pick it up and relocate it away from their fry! Set the hook and have a blast. I do recommend CPR (catch, photo, release) at this time of the year to make sure a real crawfish doesn't clean out an unprotected bed!
- The bass are more than likely on the bed. The large bass are females, and they won't bite anything while they are tending the bed, and hatching minnows.
