Best Fishing Days
When the Moon is between New (July 27) and Full
(August 10), fishing is improved, some say. Other
best fishing times are when the ocean tides are
restless before their turn and in the first hour of ebbing.
All fish in all waters salt or fresh feed most heav
ily then. An. hour before and an hour after the
high tide or the low tide is consf
optimum. Inland, times for high t
would correspond to the times the Moi
is due south. Low tides are halfway
between the high tides. When we can
get off to gb fishing is always a better
time than when we can't, although it’s
not necessarily the best.
Time and tide wait for no man
Don’t buy a fish that has dim, sunken eyes; dark
colored gills; or that is soft in flesh.
