Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:34–4:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 3:06–5:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:10 am–12:10 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 8:02–9:02 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.
