About Jack Vanderpool
Thanks to my father I have always loved
to fish. I joined the local bass club in
Marshall, MO in 1975 and was honored
to be “Fisherman of the Year” in
1979,1980, and 1981. A career change
in 1981 caused a move from Marshall
and fishing was put on the back burner
for several years. Three years ago, a
friend and I hired a guide on Truman
Lake to fish for hybrid stripped bass. We
caught approximately 400 lbs of fish that
day. The guide, Ron Cummins, became
a friend of mine and taught me what he
could about fishing for the hybrids. We
lost Ron to cancer in 2005.

Several things have to come together to
catch large fish in numbers, but the one
thing that I know from experience and
from other professionals is the effect the
sun and moon have on how fish bite
which I will refer to as “the bite”. During
the past 30 years, I have logged many
catches and studied the effect of
weather, sun, moon, and the seasons
have on the bite. I also discovered that
the solar/lunar fishing tables I have used
simply don't work. I have put together in
calendar form what has worked for me
based on lunar and solar peaks which
is different than anything I have been
able to find on the market or published.
Keep in mind that lunar and solar peaks
can be and often are offset by the
weather.

In memory of my Father, Ralph Vanderpool, who passed away Dec. 11, 2010 He
always found time to take me fishing as a child. Later in life I always found time to
take him fishing. I will miss him so much.
