Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:30–2:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:01–3:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:12–8:12 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:52–8:52 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
