Weather.com Fishing Forecast
« on: Dec 15, 2007, 07:38 PM »
I'm curious to get everyones opinion on the fishing forecast that weather.com has on its web site. Who believes in it? I went out today at around 1 to 3:30/4:00 which was supposed to be the peak time and I didnt get one flag? Does anyone put any stock in these reports

i just went to it and checked it out...pretty slick...i am one of those guys that logs everything in a small notebook when i fish, so when we get some ice here pretty soon i'll be sure to check their chart and fish and record my data, then i can give you some feedback. in fisherman records show that most (70-80%) of all record fish get caught 4 days before and 4 days after full moons.

I checked the forecast for today and compared it to my fishing today and based on this one day, I would say it does seem to be accurate.  We were catching a lot of perch all day long but the peak times on the graph did coincide with the peak times on the ice.
