Hey Sid , Thought i would add my 2 cent's on moon phases , The more time fishing on the water trump's a moon phase any day , Since they're is more than one phase , the major & minor it's likely you'll be fishing during one of them . better to relax and enjoy the hunt for the mighty Mo. There is a little read, called moon secrets on Joe Bucher site , www.Joe-Bucher.com it's interesting . I like fishing at dawn and dusk the best, seem to have my best luck then. Have a good time and good luck Pan Fish
