When it comes to fishing/hunting I pay absolutely no attention to that kinda thing. Not that I think it’s completely bs. But I’m going regardless so I don’t let any negativity grab hold because a chart says I’m wasting my time. In any case I believe weather trumps all.

The only weather that affects my fishing is lightning and wind over 15 mph. The boat can take it but I can’t!

I have followed the Sol/Lunar forecasts for a good 5 years - pretty much with no luck. I don't let it dictate when I go fishing. Each trip I take I record the "best fishing times", which is a 2 hour window and their predicted 1, 2, 3 or 4 star day in my fishing log. I watch the time while I am fishing and make a mental note of when the bulk of the catches (if any) were happening, before, during or after that 2 hour window. There were 4 star days where I was completely skunked and 1 star days that were some of the best I have ever had. There were times when the catches didn't start until it was in that "best bite" 2 hour window. In short - I find it interesting which is why I record it but I don't follow it.

The only exception I can make to this is full moon and new moon, give or take a couple days before and after it. Some fish seem to bite more, some start their runs out of the bays to the ocean. Moon phase dictates a lot of my saltwater trips be it fishing or crabbing. I don't notice it as much in freshwater.
