The chart applies to all life... fish, game, humans ;)
My mother in law even uses it to time the planting of seeds...

You should be able to target any species and catch more...

tiz a lot easier to read Arts predictions than your moon map :?

plus, having ventured forth with Cortaz, I can safely say ... 'He knows what he's about'

some of the best Bass fishing several of us Scousers have ever had.

Here's another option, although I'm afraid it doesn't cover Ireland for the timings. There is something very similar on Planetseafishing that explains how to get the timings for your area.
