I am sure many already have this.... but for those who don't, here is a good web site with moon data with major and minor times to best fish, in your area. Simply put in your zip code and bang all the work is done for ya. For me in Canada, all I did was find zip code for area closest to me (buffalo) and done.

This is even better- scroll down to the bottom - enter latitude & longitude + time delta from GMT , and you have precise information, sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset and other astronautical event times like nautical twighlight if you want for your exact location. I use this everywhere I fish, including Canada.

Don't know the longitude or latitude , go to Google Earth- zoom in on your cabin or on the lake or the campground or the boat launch or the tree on the shore, or your fishing hotspot, you now have precise longitude & latitude data to enter, i.e., wherever your mouse is located is the longitude & latitude coordinates dispayed at the bottom. Please forward your muskie fishing hotspots data to me via PM?

It won't tell you best times to fish- but if you have the smarts, i.e., understand moon & sun cycles, you can probably figure that out on your own. Most importantly you can't catch fish, if you aren't fishing! Just be on the big fish spot when Jupiter lines up with Mars and the sun is setting and the moon is down.

Have fun!

I went to that link and was a bit surprised by the minor/major periods. Most charts I see indicate a period just after moonset and just before moonrise and when combined with a sunset or sunrise they become major periods.

This chart does not seem to follow that thinking---someone enlighten me...it this showing overhead/underfoot?

There is a lot more to it than just this, and mush of it is outside my realm knowledge, but:

Minor is when some of the stuff is in alignment, i.e. moonrise 3 hours before sunset.

Major is when the important variables are in alignment, ic full/new moonrise and sunset within a 1/2 hr timeframe or moonset and sunrise within 1/2 hour.

Major/Major - Throw in a front with a major barometric change hitting at the same time as new/full moonrise and sunset.

Richard Alden Knight, and his father, John, originated the Solunar Tables. Majors are moon directly overhead, moon directly underfoot

Here's a good source for the information you seek.
