I have delved into this most of my life. Since I get skunked most of the time anyway I also go by how many bites others are getting around me, and then look at my "Fishing and Hunting, Solumnar time" app. Seems to be pretty accurate. They have a Free version and an $Exploiter$ style version. For Saltwater this is even more true (aka TIDES)
