What are the best times to try and schedule a fishing expedition? When we talk about a fishing calendar, we aren’t referring to a printed date book that you can hang on your wall. We are talking about targeting and specifying the right times to fish and the right places to fish at.

The things you need to look at most when considering a fishing calendar is when the water will be at the right temperature that is prime for catching fish. Depending on the area you are looking at for your fishing trip will depend on the right time to go.

In some places like California, the fishing is pretty good year-round. While in other places such as Washington, you’ll want to avoid the water in the winter as the cold temperatures will stress the fish and they won’t be as plentiful.

Generally, the fishing calendar shows the best fishing in the spring and summer months. Early fall will also find some places showing good fishing as well. Almanacs can be helpful guides to guide you towards the best fishing times as can constant updating through Internet web sites.

Most places will give weekly, and sometimes daily, fishing reports on their websites. They can tell you where the fish are biting and where the best places are to cast your line. They generally keep these areas of their sites updated pretty regularly, so you can get quality reports just by looking at what others have to say.

Fish like warmer waters, although, there are other species that thrive in cold water such as salmon or steelhead. In general, warm water will attract more fish. However, if the water is too warm, the fish will be sluggish and will navigate to places where the water is cooler.

The fishing calendar used most often by experienced fishermen has been compiled over a period of time. They spend a considerable amount of effort to estimate where and when the best fishing will occur. Then they share it with others. That’s one of the best parts of fishing – the camaraderie and sharing that can come about with a love of the sport.

You can compile your own fishing calendar with a little time and effort. Just do your homework and keep copious notes. When you see a trend, you’ll know it’s time to fish! Then be sure to help your fellow fishermen as they try to figure out what you already know. They’d do it for you!

“There’s a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.”

How Weather effects Your Fishing:

There are times when I think no truer words have ever been spoken. My goal is to
help you with the “looking like an idiot part.” These tips will help you become the fisherman you were meant to be. Understanding the weather and the moon are both integral parts of you having a successful fishing trip. Probably to a much greater degree than you had ever considered before For example, have you ever heard that fish seem to bite better after it rains? Or noticed for yourself that this fact seems to be true? Of course you have, and there’s a simple reason for it. And why does the weather affect top-water fishing so dramatically? If a cold front comes through an area, what happens to the top water bite? The answers to all of these questions have to do with the barometer, and can be used to your advantage as an angler. I’ve always figured, if you can use something to your advantage, why the heck not?
 
How the Moon effects Your Fishing:

If you’ve ever looked for it, there’s enough information about the lunar effects on fishing to literally choke a horse. I tried to do it one time, choke a horse with this information, and the next thing I knew I was performing the Heimlich maneuver on a freaking’ horse! I’m going try to simplify this information for you as much as humanly possible in this book. Although some people may disagree, we’re not talking about rocket science here; we’re just trying to catch more fish. And the things you need to know really aren’t that complicated. Understanding how fish adapt to changes in their environment allows an angler to better predict a fishes’ movement and feeding. Finding out when a fish is feeding is what we’re interested in, as you learned with the weather, because that’s when you have the best chance of catching said fish.

You may know that almost all saltwater fishermen check the tides before they head out fishing. And it’s a great strategy because the tides do impact fishing, especially saltwater fishing. You do realize what causes the tides to change, don’t you? That’s right, the moon. The gravitational pull of the moon not only impacts the changing tides but is also pushing against some part of the earth at all times. Since water is more easily moved than the ground, water is lifted up towards the moon causing the tides to change. How high the high tide will rise, and how low the low tide may go is largely determined by the position of the moon. Remember how we learned earlier that fish can detect changes in pressure through their lateral lines? Wouldn’t it stand to reason that fish can detect these pressure changes just like they detect pressure changes caused by the weather
