Of course, there should be a correlation, as tidal forces regularly stress the earth. Correlations with quakes and tides have been found on the moon, for instance. But the moon is almost dead tectonically, and that is the problem on earth. The quake production due to tectonic activity apparently swamps whatever correlation there might be with the tidal stress.

pete I do recall reading an article crediting a California high school teacher with the origination of the statistical correlation though, he's in good company,... John Dalton was a schoolteacher, and one of the stalwarts of spectroscopy....Balmer, Lyman, Brackett, Paschen, Pfund.
