Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:51–3:51 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:23–4:23 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 10:27–11:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:19–8:19 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.
