First things first....bonefish, very insightful, extremely valuable information, thanks. I have kept very detailed records for several years, the records include everything from date, time, location, temp, barometric pressure, sunny, cloudy, wind direction, how hard was it to obtain live bait, graph details, o2 charts and lunar phases. Forum member KR , bassmaster and hurricane bob can attest to my obsessive compulsive sickness as i even have a diagram of the trolling set up with depths and speeds to file at the end of the trip.....its my hobby....ok its a sickness lol. The hardest thing ive tried to interpret and pin down is the moon...and i think i know why. When you look at tothe overwhelming amount of variables that are thrown into the mix it would take a pretty strong data processor to pick the repeaters. I find the more i look at the lunar thing the more confusing it gets...i get hugely polar results from a moon phase this month to the exact moon phase the next month. This data keeping is starting to dilute and give dimiinishing returns on moon phase. But i love watching it anyway. Thanks for the great post
