Must be 18 yrs old to enter, see FishHunter Contest Privacy Policy for further territory exceptions and terms and conditions. Absolutely no photo editing or any tampering will be tolerated.  NOTE:  It’s easy to accomplish this challenge anytime you spot the moon in the night sky, but it’s hard to do this photography well, and get the respect of the community to earn a Top Ten ranking, and then win over the Judges to Win the prize(s) and fame on our homepage, and in the FishHunter blog forevermore.

Some very successful fishermen follow John Alden Knight’s Solunar Tables which is a specialized moon phase calendar that was designed many years ago to determine the best times to go fishing, and the Fishing App Moon Phase photo contest hopes to draw attention to the FishHunter mobile fishing app which has accurate Moon Cycles calendar to help fishermen predict peak fishing times, at night during a Full Moon, and during a New Moon.

Solunar Theory postulates that everything alive is a little more alive during a full moon (or a new moon).

Tweet with hashtag #FishingAppMoonPhase on Twitter. Use the descriptive text to tell a #FishingAppMoonPhase fishing story. Try to capture the fishing app and the moon with as much scenery in the background as possible. These photos should NOT be edited, but rather snapped and uploaded as they were in reality. You can enter as many times as you like, but only the Top Ten photos as ranked by user votes will advance to our panel of Judges.
