Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:29–4:29 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity

- 11:05 am–12:05 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:57–8:57 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.
