Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 3:30–5:30 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 4:03–6:03 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:39–9:39 am Minor · moonset · 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.
