Flattieman Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 (edited) G'day Raiders, I just wanted to inform you of a product that I have recently come into possession of - the 2006 NSW Ocean Calendar. I'd firstly like to mention that I'm not in any way affiliated with this product's manufacturer (apart from owning one!) and simply think that it would be a very useful product for many Raiders . Ever been annoyed when trying to scrounge around for a tide table and daylight/moon chart? - I know I have. This product does away with all the hassle of the search process and is definitely more convenient . It's a double-sided poster that presents tide high/low, tide size and tide time for each day, the sunrise and sunset for each day and moon phase (by halves) for the applicable days (as well as the full and new moon nights/times) in a pictorial, easy-to-read (and reference) format. It also includes a bit of info on beach gutters etc. It's simple to plan sessions/trips based on the coincidence of tide/moon/daylight (or dark) and is ADJUSTABLE TO SEVERAL NSW LOCATIONS. Just put it up on the wall and it's all there in front of you - anything fishing-based that depends on celestial/global processes can be easily planned in advance e.g. the coincidence of the flooding of tidal flats at sunset (a peak time for flatties at least ) or the coincidence of a new-moon phase with tide height/movement and time of night (for prawn runs). The list goes on. I got my copy at a promotional price of $9.95, but the rrp is $15.95 - well worth it, I say! I believe that the poster is available through good newsagents. Pic to come. Hope this helps, Flattieman. Edited May 27, 2006 by Flattieman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone's wondering, I have gained permission from Ken and the moderating team to talk about the Ocean Calendar. As I said, I'm in no way affiliated with the producers of this product. Flattieman.

Here's a pic of January's entry (moon rise/set times are found further down on the poster): Flattieman. I cant quite make the pic out. How about you retake the photo, in macro/focus, no flash just good light and maybe take a pic of each month left this year and post them up. Not that I want to print them out mind you, i just like to check on quality before I buy, really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
