Moon phase and fishing

I always tell Donna that cows laying down means they're tired and cows standing up grazing means they're hungry. And nothing more. LOL

That’s actually pretty close to spot on.  In general cows start grazing well before dawn.  If they have sufficient forage they should be full and lie down by 9:00am to start the ruminating process.  If they are still grazing they haven’t had enough to eat.  The grazing process typically repeats itself in the early afternoon.

I never could find any correlation between moon phase and fish activity, and lord knows I tried. Weather and lake/river conditions always seemed to override. However, when night fishing, the light from a full or near-full moon has a huge effect, especially on a partly cloudy night. When the moon popped out from behind a cloud and you could suddenly see your surroundings, the bite was on for a bit. Same thing when it disappeared behind a cloud, you had a few minutes of hot bite. This was for walleye, flatheads, and the occasional stinkin' bass by-catch. Crepescular fish capitalize on rapidly changing light conditions, not only at twilight.

If everyone followed that advice we'd have no roads, no bridges, no cars to drive, or houses to live in.       

The only thing you'd be able to do is go to church and watch dandelions grow.  😂

Moon phase matters, it's position relative to me matters, but those aren't the only considerations.
