    The Moon...

    Hi, I've been reading up a little as to how different periods within the moons cycle (tides, water pressure etc) can have an effect on fish feeding patterns and I just wondered if anyone has incorporated this idea into their fishing trips? Logically, it does seem to make sense. However...
