Solunar periods
Today's activity: high- 1:55–3:55 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 12:57–1:57 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 4:54–5:54 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.
