I use the lunar tables only as a general reference. For example, if I can fish one of only two days, Ill try to fish the day with a better lunar rating and during a time with good activity periods.

To be honest, there are soo many variables associated with "biting" fish, that any one of them by itself is worthless. The lunar tables are just a percentage of the puzzle. A good lunar phase can be ruined because of a front. Good stable weather can elicit a good bite during any moon phase. However, if good stable weather coincides with a good moon phase, thats when I really get excited and thats when I magically get sick on Tuesday (new moon being on Wendsday:P ). Hope that makes sense.
