Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:35–2:35 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:08–3:08 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:47–7:47 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.
