Although Chinese Calenders have been around for a long time and are based on Lunar movements they aren't always accurate as modern astrology methods to predict moon phases. Although predictions are not the same but they're pretty close, you can look at the moon on the two different predicted days to see which moon is rounder. :p

What's really important to fishing is the tide level which ultimately affects the current speed. You can roughly tell the day with the fullest moon with the highest tide level though that may not be always true. Lunar Calendar is useful if you can remember what lunar day it is and it gives you an idea of what the tide would be like without looking at a tide table.

For me, I always refer to the tide table.
