Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:09–3:09 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:41–3:41 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 7:56–8:56 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:26–9:26 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.
