For 5 days after F.Q. only 1 bass reported.
For 5 days after L.Q. only 2 bass reported.
For F.M.+2, 22 bass reported. (13,5,4,) = 60%.

68 bass reported on site in last 6 weeks, 20 of which were caught on day of F.M. = 30% = 1 third of total :) .
68 devided by the 28 day lunar cycle = 2.4. avg.
2.4 avarage bass catch per day, that makes the day of F.M. at least 8 times better than the avarage day!!!!!
