Those are the days people got out and limit before the sun is all the way up lol.

I was not convinced about the solunar tables till i spent 3 nights on the GI bridge watchin the big trout under the lights . we were catching a few dinks and whites. guy sitting on his ice chest told me i was wasting my time . fish were not ready to eat yet?
I asked him how he knew that they weren't ready to eat ? He said solunar tables.
he explained the tables and told me we had about 45 min till the dinner bell would ring.
after about 30 min he got up and got his gear ready and started looking at his watch. . he told me to drop my lure and it hit the waqter and i jigged it maybe twice and nice trout. i pulled mine in and dropped down and caught one we took turns under that light till we had a limit.
yes we still caught a few dinks and whites but the keeper trout went on a tear. he told me what time to meet him the next night and it was the same way.
Was out in a boat out of leeville a few months back. 2-3 trout for the morning all of a sudden the fish went feeding and i was catching doubles of solid keeper trout . looked at the chart and it was within 5 min of when the chart said they would start feeding. are there other variables? yes. but i do believe in the charts
