  At first, the arrangement of our logbook pages may seem awkward and inconvenient, unless you have already kept records by lunar phases at some time in the past. You will quickly get used to the arrangement with experience and then find it to be a very convenient way of comparing notes and discovering patterns in your fishing. For each fishing day, record your catch by species and size. It is extremely important to keep a record of every day, even those when you do not have a good catch. Negative results tell you just as much about effective fishing conditions. Time Recording the time can be done in several ways. Simplest is to enter just the time of day. If, instead, you are interested in seeing how your fishing relates…

For many years and in many countries, moon and tide fishing calendars have been published based on one originally devised by Grady Coble. Coble’s calendar was marked by symbols resembling the outline of a fish.

Within this year’s almanac, you will find not only the most accurate moon and tide data for Hawai‘i, but also fishing information spanning…

This means good daylight fishing on the reef. Other references report that the four KU nights,…
