Great time to land a lunker according to Doug Hannon, who's caught over 500 bass exceeding 10 pounds. Hannon says a major step for him as a big bass angler was to realize the importance of the moon on fishing success. He correlated state and world record bass catches, and catches of giant bass entered in magazine competitions, against a lunar calendar. the results were astounding, most of the giant bass have been caught within three or four days of a dark or full moon. And the few not caught then seem to cluster halfway between the two moons. This knowledge had its impact. "I spend most of my fishing time around the new and full moons," he says. But he cautions: "You can't always get away to fish during these prime periods, so consult a solunar table to determine the best fishing period on the day you'll be on the water. Then, plan your day so you're on the place with the most lunker potential at the right time."
