Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 1:34–3:34 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 2:06–4:06 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 9:19–10:19 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 7:53–8:53 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.
