Anyone know of any free plugin for microsoft Outlook that has moon info? I was out looking for a good way to add moon phase & set/rise info to my Microsoft Outlook calendar. Found a app you pay for at http://bit.ly/7XRlhy . I am interested in something free. If you have a paid app you have tried and you like I would take a look.

If I can get this info into my desktop PC calendar it will show up on my phone.

New to musky chasing but it seems there is something to be said for fishing moonrise, moonset, full moons, etc...

thats a pretty cool site,if you can`t find something free,it doesn`t cost that much.I noticed it has an eclipse schedule,I would like to fish during a eclipse sometime,see if the fish go nuts or not.

I know you're running Microsoft, but thought I would provide this info to any other interested parties who aren't locked in. The Fishing Calendar app for the iPhone has all sun/moon/convergence data, allows you to store catch photos and details, and has recently added the "Moon Overhead" data and % of Moon Phase.

Also... there's a gadget for your iGoogle home page (that you can access from anywhere) made by Intellicast that gives you the sun/moon times and moon phase as well.

Thanks hamm. You da' man. Truth is I only use outlook at work. And I DO run an iphone, so I'll look at the app also. And the Intellicast app for my igoogle is great.

My outlook thinking was integration with Outlook so the data would end up sync'ed on my iphone calendar which I live out of all the time.

Don't know where you live but did you find or do you use the FREE iPhone app BUOY DATA that has the LAKE MENDOTA (madison WI) weather buoy info? Data seems erroneous right now but before everything frose it worked great.

Cheech- I am MPLS metro. That sounds like a sweet app though.

While the Buoy Data app may be erroneous currently, the Navionics North app has been very useful since the lakes have frozen. It's 10 bucks, but that beats $150 for the chip and another $250 for an H20c. Check it out when you get time... revolutionary ice fishing tool for iPhone users.

Okay I think this post has gone astray from the subject, but oh well...
