[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Here are the results that I calculated from my database. Overall I don’t think my data shows any significant variation for the different phases of the moon. However I do believe the moon can affect how active the fish are during the day or night. [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]First Quarter [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I averaged 2.15 fish/hour, 2.30 lbs/hour and 1.89 fish/location [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]39 locations fished and 71.71 total hours fished[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]On a scale of 1 to 100 my average rating was 51.97[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Last Quarter[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I averaged 1.76 fish/hour, 2.37 lbs/hour and 3.18 fish/location [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]45 locations fished and 139.87 total hours fished[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]On a scale of 1 to 100 my average rating was 54.20[/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"][/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Full Moon[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I averaged 1.66 fish/hour, 5.65 lbs/hour and 2.60 fish/location [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]63 locations fished and 161.18 total hours fished[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]On a scale of 1 to 100 my average rating was 52.10[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]New Moon [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]I averaged 1.66 fish/hour, 3.34 lbs/hour and 3.49 fish/location [/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]28 locations fished and 91.47 total hours fished[/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]On a scale of 1 to 100 my average rating was 59.26[/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3][/size][/font]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]Each location requires a different body of water or a different date. Some days I would fish 5 or more different locations. At some of the locations I would only fish for 5 or 10 minutes and others I would fish over 12 hours. The lbs/hour could be slightly skewed by a few good days of carp or sturgeon fishing. [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"] [/font][/size]
[size 3][font "Times New Roman"]My definition of the different phases of the moon is the following. [/font][/size]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Full Moon 0-5 or 25-29 days until next full moon[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]First 1/4 is 5-11 days until next full moon[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]New 12-17 days until next full moon[/size][/font]
[font "Times New Roman"][size 3]Last 1/4 is 18-24 days until the next full moon[/size][/font]
