OK, I'm using this for all types of fishing, but right now for ice fishing, so here goes....
My handheld GPS has a hunt/fish periods on it, with excellent and good times. Now a year or so ago, I know I went to web site, and it had this type of information for the whole month, and it listed when the higher rated days were. So excellent on some days would be a higher rating then other days. Anyone know were to get the day to day info? I know other things like fronts, etc have some effect, but I'm just looking for the day to day cycle info. Thanks in advance.
Sir Don

Is this what you're looking for? Or is it something more for your GPS?

try http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/RS_OneDay.html You can get sunrise/sunset info for anywhere, moon transit time being peak activity for the day.

Jigworm, thanks, yes, I was looking for the day to day comparison,

Steinfishky (sp?) my browser errored out when I tried that one, I'll try it later, thanks.

The Solunar table differs a bit in major and minor activity times depending on your geographic location. I use to know a site where you can put in the latitude and longitude (or zip code)where you will be at and it gives you the 12 month solunar table for that exact location. I'll see if I can find that site. I think the drawback was you had to buy the table but it was only about 5 bucks. I use to buy one every year for the general area I fish and I did find some truth to the table, as long as a big change in the weather front was not happening.

According to that calender, tomorrow the 18th is suppose to be good fishing. I'm thinking about heading to Houghton Lake tomorrow. I wonder if that calender factered in all that Tip-Up Town traffic?:D
