Default need a reference for fishing calendar/moon phases

Hi guys,
Planning some long runs this summer to the Tortugas and want to plan as best I can.
My level of knowledge is capped at moon phases...ie fish before and after full moon for night snapper seems to work pretty good.
Looking to expand the knowledge.
There seems to be a bunch of choices using solar/moon table calendars and predictions.

I will use the data to plan long day trips 60-100 miles off the beach in SW Florida and also for a few excursions over the summer to the Tortugas.
Which resources, calendars, data services do you suggest and why?
Thanks a bunch!
Scott

Get a Garmin handheld GPS and click on the moon phase function....and you have another backup gps for the boat.

Scott,

The best all-around source for what you want to do is the "Fishing Planner" published by Florida Sportsman. It's an annual publication that covers: Moon Phases, Tides, and Peak Fishing Days. It covers the state of Floida from St. Augustine and Pensacola to the Dry Tortugas It's available at almost any tackle shop here in Florida.



Here's the link: https://store.intermediaoutdoors.com...spx?item=08FP&

Tightlines,

PB

Hey, do I get an invite on a trip to the Tortugas?
