Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:24–3:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:55–3:55 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 8:51–9:51 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:58–8:58 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.
