you don't need a sounder..just go fishing. Plenty caught fish long before sounders were around.

From good old reliable Wikipedia;)

A blue moon can refer to either the third full moon in a season with four full moons, or the second full moon in a month


Blue moons between 2009 and 2016
The following blue moons occur between 2009 and 2016. These dates use UTC as the timezone; exact dates vary with different timezones.
Seasonal


Using the Farmers' Almanac definition of blue moon (meaning the third full moon in a season of four full moons), blue moons occur

November 21, 2010
August 21, 2013
May 21, 2016
It seems that The Farmers Almanac, even though it describes the Sky & Telescope 'invention' of the new definition, is now using the new definition of blue moon on its calendar, therefore indicating that the blue moon is August 31, 2012 instead of August 21, 2013.
Calendar

Unlike the astronomical seasonal definition, these dates are dependent on the Gregorian calendar and time zones.

Two full moons in one month:

2009: December 2, December 31 (partial lunar eclipse visible in some parts of the world), only in time zones west of UTC+05.
2010: January 1 (partial lunar eclipse), January 30, only in time zones east of UTC+04:30.
2010: March 1, March 30, only in time zones east of UTC+07.
2012: August 2, August 31, only in time zones west of UTC+08.
2015: July 2, July 31
