Default Solunar fishing times?

What do you think about Solunar fishing times, do they work or not? I have often thought about giving them a try, but have never been able to put my fishing on a schedule. I fish when I have the time or the mod strikes me. I have never compared them with the times that I have had a good day or hour. So should I be looking into this or not?

Thumbs up Re: Solunar fishing times?

Long ago I lived on the St Mary's river between Michigan and Ontario. The anglers up there swore by them especially for walleyes.

Check em out. Uncanny accuracy except when weather screws things up. I have followed 'em in the past.

Yeah I know that is all too true.

Seriously, IMO these apply more to the salt and extremely large lakes

Have fished lots of full moon, half moon, no moon, clouds, no clouds etc with equal success in the sweet water. AND my OP is also like my fishing hole...Everyone has one, and they all produce

When I used to pay attention years ago I found the smallmouths were especially tuned into it.

Never used them, but also interested in what people have to say about them.

I believe the old saying. "When the moon high, fishing is nigh." I've had so many horrible fishing days both fresh and saltwater during a full moon. Can't remember any outstanding good ones the past fifty-five years. Has to be something to it.

Thru the years it's uncanny the coincidence of feeding times and what the book said should be the feeding times,we use to try and plan trips around the times of ideal feeding periods.
