Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:18–2:18 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 12:49–2:49 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:01–10:01 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 5:33–6:33 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 950 ft from shore and 33 ft at 0.6 mi.

From the shoreline (1,100 ft from Ljubač) out to sea, heading west.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep950 ft
  • 33 ft deep0.6 mi
  • 66 ft deepnot within 1.6 mi
  • 164 ft deepnot within 1.6 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. About 6.9 ft of water 330 ft out: long casts help, and so does a rising tide, which brings fish closer in.
  • Swimming. The water gets deeper little by little, but a few dozen yards out you can no longer stand.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.6 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (beyond 1.6 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide. There is land ahead (an island, a headland or the far shore) 1.6 mi out.
