How Solunar Periods Work

Major periods (2 hours): Moon overhead and underfoot. Strongest gravitational pull triggers feeding activity.

Minor periods (1 hour): Moonrise and moonset. Secondary feeding windows.

New and Full moons: Highest tidal ranges create the strongest feeding response. Plan your best trips around these dates.

Quarter moons: Weakest tidal movement. Fish are less active but not unfishable - focus on structure and bait.

Solunar calculations are based on lunar transit times. Combine with Informed Forecast conditions for the best results.
