Nobody likes to go on a fishing trip and get skunked.
In fact, the quickest way to get turned off to the hobby is to get up early in the morning, spend 4 or 5 hours on the water and come back with nothing to show for it.
There are ways to maximize your odds of getting a fish, and what's more you can even know the best time to go after the really big fish! As a master of the obvious, I'll let you in on a not-so-secret secret: the best time to go fishing is when the fish are biting.
I know what you're thinking: "alright wise guy, everyone knows that!" The fact is, not everyone does.
I'd be willing to bet that you know at least one person that has come back empty handed from a fishing trip, even if it's never happened to you.
The real secret is to know when the fish are biting, and the answer to that is not quite as obvious as you might think.
If you were to look around at all the fishing publications and websites out there, you might begin to think there was some black magic involved using those solar/lunar charts, tide charts, and other funny calculations to figure out when the fish are biting.
The fact is, most of those charts are just plain dead wrong, and solid scientific research has proven that.
All you really need to know is the exact timing of sunrise and sunset to know when to go fishing.
As it turns out, there is a direct correlation between these two times of day and the relative feeding activity of fish.
For 90 minutes before and after sunrise and sunset, fish feeding activity is at a peak.
Solar cycles are not the only factor in calculating fish feeding activity, but it is one of the strongest.
Coupled with lunar cycles (see my article on this subject), solar cycles give you about 90% of everything you need to know to go after those big fish.
So, now that you know when to go fishing, get out there and bring home dinner!
