| I saw Jenkins and Shep both have neat fishing watches that tell moonset and rise and peak fishing times.
Where can I find one....my watch took a nose dive this morning. |

|
| Jason, I came across one made by casio. I think it was at http://www.jacksonlures.com If not maybe bps or cabelas. |
|
| |
|
| Yes, it is at jackson lures. |
|

|
| Casio, "Fish in Time" model. Bought mine at Walmart. |
|

|
| REAL MEN carry a grandfather clock in their shirt pockets.....[:sun:] |
|
| |
|
| has anybody tried those new watches with barometers built in,,I think they are around $200 but would be worth it if barometers are sensitive |
|
| |
|
| Happy,
Fishing partner of mine has one.... asked him what it was reading....he said 28.50
That would be the equivilent to a hurricane.
(It was sunny) |

|
| Cabelas.com has some fishing watches. |

| I have a Magellan 315 GPS that has the moonphase sunrise/set, moonrise/set, and the solunar tables all retrievable for whatever area you happen to be in. You can also look ahead for up to five years (could be helpful in planning trips). It is a little big to wear on your wrist but it does tell time too. Seriously, it is a nice option to have in a GPS to let you know exactly when to go back after that big fish you brought up earlier in the day. Sometimes hitting it exactly at moon rise is all it takes. |

| My mavado does not tell me moon set, moon rise, date and does not even have numbers on it. I know I am a genious can't you tell?[:0] |

| A WATCH is something that we all need to let us know when it's time to leave work for the day (after 3-4 hours) after arriving 1 or 2 hours late. An ALARM CLOCK is something we use to wake us up to go fishing (if you need it). Neither one ever seem to work for job-related items. [:bigsmile:] |

| Jason,
It's a Casio Forester FT-200. Got mine at Bass Pro in Gurnee for about $35.00. I can't tell you that it actually has helped me catch any fish. Remember, I've been fishing in my boat most of the year![:bigsmile:]
I first heard about the watch in a presentation Scott gave at one of our MI meetings. He said it helped put fish in the boat. I'm thinking what he forgot to add to that was "if you wear a hot pink thong".[:0]
Tight Lines,
Shep[:sun:] |

| Get the casio watch, it's for real. Catch a hog and look at it to see it's a peek almost every time. [:p] |

|
| I am off to Wally Mart right now.....anyone know what time it is?[;)] |

| Sponge:
I used to carry around a grandfather's clock as you mentioned but have recently gone to the trusty ol' sundial. It's not as adversely affected by high humidity (rain). It can be a tad challenging under extremely dense cloud cover but I've discovered that while fighting with the sundial, I am not as bothered by the fact that I'm not catching as many muskies as I would like. I've been experimenting with different light sources for use after dark but have yet to find a truly suitable source. Black light seems to be the best of any tried so far but know there has to be a better option. Thinking seriously about trying out aircraft landing lights to eliminate those pesky shadows. Would appreciate any suggestions you might have...[;)] |

| Hey I got the "fishing watch" by Casio last night. I spent 1 hour programing in the (long and lats) and all that other garbage.
Peak fishing times today in Milwaukee are:
3:05am
9:15am
3:30pm
9:40pm
This watch better get me a 50" or I am going to pitch it in the lake...
[:bigsmile:] [:bigsmile:] |

| OK, I gotta be different, I guess. I try to make it a rule to NOT bring a timepiece out fishing. what for? My belly knows when its lunch time, and the fish will tell me when its time to go home. Now, like any rule I've broken it a time or two, usually involving promises to me wife.
Maybe we should continue this thread with responses to the question: Why do you care what time it is when you are out fishing? just a thought. m[:bigsmile:] |

| The watch is for real. The majors and minors are exactly the same as the John Alden Knight Solunar Tables that many have relied on. The biggest thing with the watch is that it will tell you when to be on a prime spot after you have located a nice fish. Weather comes first, but when you have no weather, any solunar influence can be a key to success. I got my Casio Forester Fish In Time watch at Wal-Mart for $35. Small investment for how much it has helped my productivity on the water. One helpful hint for those of you who travel long distances to fish: remember to reprogram the watch to the longitude you will be fishing in.

| I also have a Forester and love it. The fishing times are more of an excuse to be fishing in my opinion. The other features of the watch, like the nice back light, is what I really like. When I wear this one out I'm thinking about getting the all metal one. Check them out at Jackson Lures. Ed has pictures and data on all three different models.
I had a casio $150 barometer watch and it sites in my dresser drawer. What a waste of money. I've come to believe that the best barometer is the $30 Airguide for fishing. |
