Solunar periods
Today's activity: medium- 2:24–4:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
- 2:57–4:57 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
- 11:03 am–12:03 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
- 7:50–8:50 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.
