Thanks to Jack Payne of Solunar Services, Inc. in Rushville, IN. 46173, for these Hunting and Fishing Tables. They are calibrated for the Latitude/Longitude midway between Tower and Cook. The times will change + or - one minute for every 12 miles east or west of the base point.
Jack has been an annual visitor to the lake since 1953 and a summer resident (Ely Island) since 1976. He's used his own tables for the lake, saying night fishing during a full moon when there is a Solar period in progress is the best, and has personal logs to bear him out.
The key to accurate Hunting and Fishing Times is the ability to chart the relative solar and lunar positions with respect to a particular location. The major periods coincide with the upper and lower meridian passage of the resultant gravitational force. They occur when these forces are at 0 and 180 degrees apart. The minor periods occur when these forces are rising or setting either horizon.
Good fishing and let us know how you do!
