Timeline Photos Here is a great fishing how to video that gives insight on tidal coefficient, barometric pressure & solunar phases. Knowledge is power and the more that you know about these things the better you can plan your fishing excursions. I personally utilize the tool or webpage: tides4fishing.com
This is a great FREE website that will allow you to do your reconnaissance for planning your next fishing trip. Here is a brief synopsis of what I cover in the video:
I discuss tidal coefficients, which tell us the amplitude of the tide. (Difference in high tides and low). It also helps gauge how fast the water will be coming in or going out. Even though coefficients are the same for the entire planet, the amplitude is quite different depending on what region of the world you are in.
I also discuss barometric pressure and how the rising and falling effect the fishing. Barometric pressure is defined as the weight or mass of an entire air column on a unit if surface area at sea level. Fish sense pressure changes through their air bladder. The fish that have smaller air bladders such as wahoo, dolphins and kings for example aren’t effected as much as the species with larger air bladders: trout, redfish, tarpon etc… Reason being is because fish that have smaller air bladders have a body density that’s closer to the surrounding water; therefore they can’t sense the change as much. Fish with larger bladders can sense rapid drops in pressure and they can feel it too. When their bladder expands fish become uncomfortable and may move to deeper water, the last thing on their mind is eating at this point.
Lastly I discuss the solunar moon phases and their importance when fishing. Using moon tables you can find when the moon is directly underfoot or overhead. The peak feeding times tend to correspond around new and full moons, you also notice healthier tides. Understanding Major and minor moon phases can really increase your odds of catching more fish. ... See more
