Trip Planning?
 

Not sure if this has been discussed lately or not, but I was just wondering what factors do you consider when planning a fishing trip?

Do you go simply because the weather's too good to pass up? Or do you try to go during a specific tide or moon phase?

Right now I just go when I have time, but I just wanted to pick a few of yall's brains about the topic.

TIA

We always go on the tide &&& astro table,
and hope for the best with weather :help:

gotcha...but if you could explain more please.

Hypothetically speaking...what would be the best scenario, i.e moon and tide?

I use this chart it has worked for me in the past. http://gulffishing.com/calwg009.html

Everyone on here is going March 13th & said I had to be there. So I'm going.:confused:

thanks montauk, that could come in handy...

I use this one a good bit....http://66.135.8.10/tideserver/LocationSelect.asp

I go when my wife says I can........

I always like a good 1-2 foot tide, then on the astro table at least a 50 or above..... That astro table can really help out alot, those to things prolly are the most important to me, is you get LSM they have both charts...........

I'll do some home work by looking at tides,weather and all that good stuff but I go when i can because of work !

My wife says i can go fishing any time i want, She just tells me when i want .

I look for a Saturday or a Sunday.............
It kills me when all my buddies in the plants can go during the week.
Or they wait for the perfect conditions and then go.

Of course, I haven't worked nights or weekends in 26 years.

If the weather is good and the tide is moving, I don't look at the feeding times.
You can get them off of any good GPS, but they are not always correct.
I have caught fish when the feeding times said it was not good and barely caught
when they said it was prime feeding time.

I go when ray is offshore, lol best fishing times

I agree.:pissed:

When work and weather allows, I go on days ending in "y".

but that would mean you go everyday because everyday ends in..............................oooooooo

I see what you did there

I have had some of my best days when the "predictions" said to stay home, and I have had some of my worst days when the "predictions" said get out there leave the poles home and just open the ice-chest because they are going to be jumping in.

exactly, i look at the tides, but they dont mean everything, ive had great trips on full moons with small tides
