Generally the theory is that at certain times of the moons cycle, (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter) and at certain times within these cycles a couple of days before, during and after aforesaid phases ie moonrise, highest point, moonset, lowest point (a couple of hours each side of these times) Then predatory fish especially (including carp) are more actively feeding.
I have played at it a bit taking notes of times when decent catches are made between myself and others and there does seem to be something in it.
The moonstrike site has a study of barbel catches in particular and does seem to come to some satisfactory conclusions regarding this theory.
Has anyone else ever dabbled and if so what are yor thoughts.
