Are the ones linked her listed in eastern or central time? Just wanting to compare to the time that I caught fish today.

You do not need to adjust for a different time zone.

Because of the installation of time zones over a century ago, the moon and sun reach the same point in the sky at the same time for all locations of earth. For example, say you are in New York and it's high-noon. Where is the sun? Right over your head. Now say you are in Los Angeles and it's high-noon. Where is the sun? Right over your head. And so it goes for any time zone around the world. It takes the sun and moon approximately one hour to travel from one time zone to the next, thus the formula used when the time zones were devised.

We set our times to the CENTER of any given time zone (ie: 78 degrees for the Eastern Time Zone, 93 degrees for the Central, 108 degrees for Mountain, 123 degrees for Pacific, 153 degrees for Alaska/Hawaii, all the way to 3 degrees for England). If you fish or hunt within a few degrees of any of these, there is no need to adjust anything. If, however, you are on the far edge of your time zone, the times could be as much as 30 minutes off. While this is still within acceptable limits (you should be out there at least one hour before any activity time, anyway), some folks like to be precise…bless their hearts. In this case, use this simple formula: Find the number of miles you are from the center, and divide it by 12. The result is the number of minutes you need to adjust. If you are to the WEST of center, ADD these minutes to all the solar/lunar times. If you are to the EAST of center, SUBTRACT. For example, anglers in Miami would add approximately 12 minutes to all times) .

As for latitude, our calendars are geared for 35 degrees N. latitude, which runs along the northern borders of Arizona, New Mexico, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina. If you are farther south or north than this, don't worry. Latitude has very little effect on the best times, and even less on the best days. Not until you get above 50 degree N. latitude (approx. U.S. Canadian border) should you even begin to consider a few things. So, yes, these calendars work just fine outside the U.S. anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. They can do a good job in the Southern Hemisphere, as well, but with a few considerations.

Hope that helps!

Thanks. That clears it up.

Good tip - I put a shortcut on my desktop to that  8-)

I'm in the camp that believes fish are animals and are directly affected by their environment. We don't know it all yet and still learning how magnetic fields, sun light, darkness, solar flares and gravitational pull, weather affects everything on this planet.

With that said; if the solunar tables gets you out on the water and you are focusing on your fishing presentation more due to your belief that it's a good time to fish, you should catch more bass. You can't catch them  pounding keys on this computer.

That's what I was thinking when I was out the other day and had to keep clearing the ice from the guides on the rod...didn't catch anything...but for sure I wasn't going to catch anything at home ;D
