How to read this calendar
Solunar theory holds that fish feed most actively when the moon is overhead or underfoot (the major periods, roughly two hours each) and at moonrise and moonset (the minor periods, roughly one hour each). The daily bite rating here weighs the moon phase, which peaks at new and full, against how well those periods overlap dawn and dusk.
Treat it as a way to rank your available days, not a guarantee. The strongest single signal remains moving water: a major period that lands on an incoming or outgoing tide beats the same period at slack. The tide column shows each day's turns so you can find that overlap.

What is a solunar calendar?
A solunar calendar lists the daily major and minor feeding periods derived from the moon's position, along with sunrise, sunset, and moon phase. Anglers use it to pick which hours of a day, and which days of a week, are most likely to produce an active bite.
Do solunar fishing times actually work?
Solunar periods are a planning heuristic, not a law. Many anglers find the majors around dawn and dusk productive, but tide movement, water temperature, wind, and barometric pressure all matter as much or more. Use the calendar to narrow your options, then let the tide and conditions pick the hour.
What does the bite rating mean?
It is a 0 to 4 score combining moon phase, which peaks at new and full moons, with how well the day's feeding periods overlap sunrise and sunset. Higher means more of the classic conditions line up at once.
