Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:24–2:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:56–2:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:19–7:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:35–9:35 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.
