How accurate do you find SoLunar tables?

When you are planning your trip, specifically for inshore fishing, now much weight do you put in the major and minor times on the solunar tables?
With the full moon this weekend, they are calling for well above average activity. I pulled this chart from Tides4Fishing and it is calling for Sunday afternoon to be one of the best fishing times of the year. Does the OB find these to be fairly accurate?

I go when I can go. That, and water movement has the largest impact on fish feeding for inshore/marsh fishing.
That being said, when my bird feeders are full of birds I can look at the tables and they almost always show High activity. And when the tables say High activity I can look at my feeders and they are full of birds.

I like the Tides4Fishing site. Down in the Keys there are a wide range of areas effected by hi/low tide periods and they take that into account. I find the peak times pretty accurate.

I used to keep a spreadsheet with all conditions (date, weather, tides, location, solunar info, water temp, etc). I never found a pattern with the solunar tables. Now a days, I go when I have free time. I do still check the tides and weather to determine where to go, but that’s about it.

The main thing I am really trying to figure out is what is the best time to be on the water. Its a 2 hour drive to the lake from my house so I am debating if we should wake up at 3:30 to get on the lake for sunrise or leave a bit later and fish the early afternoon bite.

Be there when the water is moving. Look at the tide chart and try to gauge when that will be from high and low tide. Moon phase does effect fish but in my experience other factors can and will be more influential.

Usually pretty accurate for deer times as well.
It doesn't always mean you'll see them, but I usually see more general animal activity ( and by assumption more deer activity ) when the tables say there should be.

I'd sleep in and fish the afternoon and evening bites.

Not sure where you fish, but if you are using it for Big Lake there is usually about an hour or two delay between the tide charts and when the water actually moves in the lake.
I use this link to get real time updates on the water: USGS Water Data

What did it say for 6PM this evening? Me and my son caught fish 1 after another for a steady 1 1/2 hours. Lot of dinks but we ended up with about 10-13 keepers.
