Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:17–4:17 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:50–4:50 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 9:20–10:20 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 9:20–10:20 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.
