Solunar periods

Today's activity: high
  • 12:43–2:43 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:15–3:15 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:02–10:02 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 6:23–7:23 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.
