Hunting Times. The Real Scoop By Joe Bucher Full Moon or Dark Moon?
Major and minor solunar periods? Which is best? Does any of this moon mumbo jumbo make any real sense nor does it actually work? It's not hard to find a solunar table of some kind. Finally, back in 1976, when I got into the fishing guide business full time, I really made it a point to compare my fishing catches to a number of solunar charts.
Basically, I became so frustrated and disappointed with the lack of any real consistent correlation to most of the popular magazine charts today that I gave up on them completely. You would have thought that my accumulated research would have cured me from ever looking at a solunar chart again, but it did just the opposite. Yes, I had flipped 180 degrees on the entire solar/lunar deal. The real secret, I discovered, to solar/lunar influences on a daily basis was nothing more than knowing when the sun and moon rose and set on a 24 hour basis. Could there be a fourth factor? The Solunar Theory. The Solunar Theory In 1926 John Alden Knight* postulated some folk lore he picked up in Florida and proceeded to attempt a refinement, giving it the name Solunar (Sol for sun and Lunar for moon).
Knight compiled a list of 33 factors which influence or control day-to-day behavior of fresh and salt-water fish. Everything was taken into account that could possibly have any bearing on the matter. One by one the factors were examined and rejected. Three of them, however, merited further examination. The moon had already been weighed and found wanting. FLW Outdoors Solunar Tables - The Bass Fishing Forecast. Solunar Tables® are designed to forecast the daily active feeding periods of fish.
They are formulated from the position of the earth in relation to the sun and moon. The major periods last for approximately 2 to 3 1/2 hours, and the minor periods last for approximately 3/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Lunar day. Tidal day. Our Restless Tides, Explanation of Astronomical Factors, Tides and Tidal Currents. Tides - building, river, sea, depth, oceans, effects, important, largest, system, wave, effect, marine, Pacific. Ocean tides are periodic rises and falls in the level of the sea, and are formed by the gravitational attraction of the Moon and Sun on the water in the ocean.
Although the Moon is much smaller than the Sun, it has a greater gravitational attraction for the Earth because the Moon is much closer to Earth. This causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the Moon. Equilibrium Theory of Tides Two theories help explain tides. The Lunar Calendar in "The Invisible Landscape" Most "Goddess Calendars" that you can find on the web are actually just the usual Gregorian Calendar with the twelve months renamed after goddesses, so they are not really new calendars — and they are solar calendars, not lunar calendars.
This page defines an accurate 13-month lunar calendar in which the months actually do coincide with the lunar cycles. It is based on a proposal for a new calendar made by Terence McKenna in 1987 but has been given its final form only recently. Terence McKenna's Goddess Calendar In The Invisible Landscape Terence McKenna cited a scholar who suggested that the I Ching hexagrams were connected with some early calendar system (see the 1975 edition, Chapter 8, pages 113-114). He then proceeded to speculate that the neolithic Chinese used a lunar calendar in which a year of 384 days consisted of 13 lunar months (alternating in length between 29 days and 30 days). An accurate lunar calendar, however, is not constructed as easily as one might suppose.

Major and minor solunar periods? Which is best? Does any of this moon mumbo jumbo make any real sense nor does it actually work? These are legitimate questions asked by thousands of anglers each year, and they deserve concrete answers backed up by some bonafide data. It's not hard to find a solunar table of some kind.
