Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:29–3:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:01–4:01 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 8:33–9:33 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 8:29–9:29 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.
