Could it be anything to do with the force of the Tide being too strong for it to be comfortable for them to feed ?! :?
If I'm not gonna catch a fish , I may aswell not catch a BIG fish !

Hmm.....but the tidal forces build up gradually to full moon day and then fall away gradually. The catch graph plunges from a high figure to almost zero in that single 24-hour period. Very puzzling altogether. Maybe some expert in the Marine Institute can suggest something?

PS: Just sent an email to them to see what explanation they can offer.

seanie, craigo good point..however there must always be some hungry fish about and likewise calm spots/times...............and its not just bass catches of all other species are also lowest :? :?
1, it,s not a shortage of food
2, it,s nothing to do with weather, wind,temp,s both sea and air,air pres,ect.
3, it not the actuel tide hight or sea state.

just got a massive idea!!! :shock: :shock: :) ....think i have it sussed 8) there,s a "switch over"...........like an eclips.. :? , or something.

hugo, would likt to see if ya get a reply, say twod be intrestin :)
