G'day Bisho

Can't follow the "fishing the tide changes" at Peter Faust bit.

Was waiting for someone to catch that, apparently the dam barra feed around the changes even thought there in the dam, been told from lindsay the guide there that he has experianced some action around the changes, as well as a few others.

They must all read the Almanac !!!!!

I've noticed it fishing places like corroboree and the like.. when I have had big sessions always checked the tides out of interest and its usually been just before or after the tide change, could be just coincidence, but I'm guessing its got to do with the moon phases or something like that

Thanks for that.

I've never noticed any coincidence of activty between a pondage and the tide times. Kept some pretty good records for a few years in lagoon fishing.

Read the Almanac a few times over the years and drew up a database of day-by-day moon phases complete with good, better, best days accoring to Almanac. Saw no connections there either.

When I thought I had a trend, I'd check the database to see that there wasn't. I found that if I formed a theory, I could verify it by ignoring a bit here and a bit there on the database.

Knowing which bits to ignore BEFORE forming the theory was the bit I couldn't master.

After 5 years I could see no connection and gave up recording good, better, best entries.

Just stuck top catch and now use the database as a monthly adding machine.

How did ya go mate?
Im looking at dragging up the tub to have a crack at the burdekin the run off.
