More bass reported on 13th.(28) that rest of yr. combined. :P 8).
EXAMPLE. if the same anglers had fished the same marks with the same gear at the same time/stage of tide the next nite they would have at least dubbled the previous nites catch.

Hi cortaz,Ive been fishing using your chart that you posted for April, I'm lucky to be able to fish most days if the tide is suitable,and can confirm that the last weeks fishing has been dire. I'll be out tommorw with the plugs and lures and will post how I get on.

Hi Cortaz, my ipod app tells me that the 5th, 6th, 13th, 14th 26th, 27th and the 28th are the best fishing days in may with the 27th and 28th being the best. The app gives times as well, example: 27th - 06.00-08.00, 12.00-14.00 and 18.30-20.00.

Does these dates/times match your calculations?

Thanks in advance.
