Choices: When to Fish and When to Cut the Grass
OutdoorHub 05.07.13
Thanks to DataSport’s products — the Original Fish & Game Forecast and Hannon’s Moon Clock Calculator and their respective iPhone and Android apps – it is now possible to load up the boat with fish and get the yard work done in the same day. In its 40th year, the 128-page Fish & Game Forecast book has been the angler’s friend, helping to find the periods of best activity as well as measuring the strength of the best times. The accompanying log book pages help keep track of successful outings. The Moon Clock Calculator, now in its 32nd year of providing accurate information, is easy to use and understand and conveniently fits in a pocket.
“This is the time of year when spring fishing is at its best,” said John Lehman, DataSport, Inc.’s president, “and it’s also the peak time for spring cleanup, gardening and other outdoor chores that can seem to threaten the ability to go fishing. Using either of these two activity predictors can narrow down the times that are most productive and allow for morning house time and afternoon fishing….or vice versa.”
Finding the best weeks for a fishing or hunting trip is another way these two products and their respective apps can help. The theory is that most successful outdoor experiences have proven to occur during periods of peak activity. We can predict when these periods of peak activity will occur by understanding the effects of the sun and moon on the earth and how these relational movements affect living things.
“If you could only hunt or fish one day of the month for a short period of time, wouldn’t you want to go during a predicted peak of activity?” asked Lehman. Weather is the short-range factor that affects these times most often and most strongly.
