The Magic Tables
Best Fishing Times by Catt There have been numerous books, articles, charts, ect. published on this great mystery of bass fishing. A lot of the authors of these publications go through great lengths explaining how difficult it is to determine these times. It is really quiet simple to determine these times for your self with a little inside information. River and salt water publications go through great lengths explaining how difficult it is to determine tidal movements. The reality is that these best times and tidal movements are related to the moon's phases. People in animal husbandry, farming, hunting, and fishing has used the moons phases for centuries. One of the oldest publications giving this information is the "Poor Richard's Almanac". The moon's phases are divided into four quarters, two of which are your minor times, and two of which are your major times. The times for the major periods are as follows An hour and a half prior the moon reaching its apex An hour and a half prior to the moon reaching its perigee The major periods are the first quarter new moon and the third quarter full moon. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon is three times greater on the new moon than the full moon. At the time of the new moon the earth has the moon and the sun in a straight line pulling together. This first quarter, dark night phase differs from the third quarter full moon phase when the earth moves between the moon and the sun. The new moon dark night is only difficult on the angler because you must rely on your sense of feel when working your bait. If you want to really learn how to fish baits that require a lot of feel like worm or jigs try nights. The times for the minor periods of these moon phases are as follows An hour and a half prior to the raising of the moon on the horizon. An hour and a half prior to the setting of the moon. Now take into consideration the above listed times you end up with 3 hrs. of major time periods and 3 hrs. of minor times periods. This does not take into account weather, seasons, or your ability to locate fish!

curious to know what you guys think about noise
Sound is one of those strange things like color; some times it matters some times it doesn't. I have about a dozen honey holes that are within easy casting distance of a major boat lane, two of them have produced many a double digit bass. I seen times when the lake was completely calm/quite then someone would crank an outboard and I'd get bit. I can also prove that the bass on Toledo Bend bite better during the week when there is less boat activity; especially during pre-spawn and the spawn when the are thousands of boats on the lake. I listen to a radio/CD a lot while night fishing and have never seen it effect on the number of fish I catch. But then again when I night fish it's usually in water that is 15' or deeper.

Snags
While dropping down in lure weight will lessen hang ups it also eliminates the reason you are flipping/pitching into cover to start with. Contact with the bottom is key when flipping/pitching and some times especially during pre-spawn/early spawn a fast fall rate will trigger a strike. I use heavier weights and deal with snags along with catching hawgs Boondocks I have a buddy who can not stand to even lose a plastic worm, hook, and sinker. He would ask me to troll over and let him get his set up back; I'd answer, What do you want bass in the live well or baits in your tackle box?
