Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 2:24–4:24 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:56–4:56 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 11:03 am–12:03 pm Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:49–8:49 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.

Water depth

Gentle slope

The bottom slopes gently: 16 ft deep 0.5 mi from shore and 33 ft at 0.55 mi. It reaches 164 ft at 1.7 mi.

From the shoreline (0.8 mi from Rumelikavağı) out to sea, heading northeast.

How far from shore

  • 16 ft deep0.5 mi
  • 33 ft deep0.55 mi
  • 66 ft deep1 mi
  • 164 ft deep1.7 mi

For fishing, swimming and diving

  • Shore fishing. Shallow, gradual bottom (16 ft at 0.5 mi): cast far from the beach and fish the high tide, when there is more water close in.
  • Swimming. A very gentle way in with plenty of shallow water, good for kids. At low tide the water can be far out.
  • Diving. 33 ft deep 0.55 mi from shore; 66 ft is far out (1 mi): for deeper dives, go by boat.

Inside bays, estuaries and harbors the bottom changes a lot from spot to spot (channels and shoals): use this only as a rough guide.
