Activity tables for the outdoors: fishing, hunting, bird watching and photography Through the years, many have tried to explain and chronicle these times.

For centuries, people who spent a great deal of time outdoors have noticed that there are noticeable periods of activity which occur throughout the day. When one spends time in the woods, there are periods of time when there is no perceptible noise or movement. At other times, there is a marked increase in the scurrying about of squirrels, other small game, birds and even larger animals such as de

er. One of the earlier and more successful of these people was John Alden Knight who, in 1935, actually defined and derived a formula for these times. He called them "the Solunar Tables," "sol" for sun and "lunar" for moon. It is important to note that any type of forecasting can only be done on a long-range basis. That is, it can take into account the normal long-range variables but it cannot (and does not) account for short-range factors, the most common of which is weather. The Fish & Game Forecast is based on the very same principles as John Alden Knights' tables except that, because DataSport was one of the very early users of computers, many other factors have been integrated into their forecasts. Most students of solunar-based information recognize that there are two major and two minor periods each day. In general, the major periods last longer than the minor periods, but perhaps more importantly, there is a real difference in the strength of the two types of times. In fact, based on the proximity to the new moon and the full moon, the two types of periods get relatively stronger and/or weaker. The closer to the new and full moon, the stronger (better) the activity. Conversely, the farther away from those times, the weaker (less) the activity. One important thing to recognize is that these (and all) tables relate to activity and not to feeding times. The theory is that animals and fish are active because they are moving to feed. Finally, the DataSport Fish & Game Forecast does not guarantee a full stringer or game bag or a record buck. It will never replace knowledge, experience or good judgement. But it will enable you to make those hours spent on the lake or in the tree stand more enjoyable and more productive.

When the water turns cold, a jigging spoon can bring up crappie from the depths. On an ultralight spinning rod, drop a 1/8- to 1/4-ounce chrome jigging spoon to the bottom around deep channel edges or brush piles. As the spoon sinks, it flutters down like a dying shad. Work the bait a couple feet off the bottom with subtle vertical movements.

Many deer hunters climb into their stands well before first light or a few hours before darkness because tradition says that whitetails are more active during low-light times. As hunting season progresses, many big bucks in heavily pressured areas turn nocturnal, so sportsmen hope to see them moving about at first and last light. However, many big whitetails readily move about during the middle of the day. Many hunters leave their stands and take lunch breaks during the middle of the day, too. Bucks can pattern people better than people can pattern deer.

Fall means a time of transition for smallmouth bass, but could provide some of the best fishing all year. In the fall, smallmouth often go into a feeding frenzy to put on weight before the winter. For fall bronzebacks, concentrate on shallows because bass enter the thin water to feed on minnows as temperatures cool.

the fall can provide some of the best fishing all year. In the fall, bass gorge themselves on shad to prepare for the coming winter scarcity. To find fall bass, look for the shad. Threadfin shad eat microscopic plants and animals called plankton. Winds can congregate plankton in certain areas. Look for schooling bass on windward shorelines and at the mouth of major creek channels.

Many hunters venture into remote forests looking for game, thinking that the farther they go from civilization, the more game they’ll find. Sometimes, though, the densest game populations occur closest to civilization. With few predators to threaten them and limited hunting, whitetail deer can thrive in close proximity to humans and may even occupy suburban woodlots, small patches of forest, crop fields or gardens. But just because their near people, they still have movement patterns - which you can check out here:

Anyone who ever heard the bugle of an elk will never forget it. Truly the call of the wild, the bugle of a bull elk alerts all other elk for miles around that he’s there to defend his harem during rutting season. It’s also a call to the cows that he’s ready to mingle. Many folks are out chasing them now and many more will do so through mid-Oct. If that's your plan, order a Fish & Game forecast booklet now and make the most of your time on the mountain.

Along the Pacific Coast, September is time to fish for salmon. In September, anglers find some salmon in the marine estuaries while other fish begin entering the rivers. In the rivers, anglers might find some big hook-nosed coho salmon in the 20-pound range. Some of the best September salmon fishing occurs in the tributaries of Puget Sound. The Columbia River also offers excellent fishing for coho and Chinook salmon.
