Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 1:03–3:03 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 8:11–9:11 am Minor · moonset · 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.
