Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best tide for fishing?
Most experienced anglers agree that a rising (incoming) tide is the best time to fish, especially the two hours leading up to high tide. The incoming water pushes baitfish and nutrients into estuaries and along shorelines, which attracts predatory gamefish.
How do moon phases affect fishing?
New and full moons produce the strongest tidal movements (spring tides) and are generally considered the best times for fishing. During these phases, solunar major periods are at their peak, triggering more aggressive feeding behavior in fish.
What are solunar periods?
Solunar theory predicts fish activity based on the moon and sun positions. Major periods (about 2 hours each) occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot. Minor periods (about 1 hour each) happen at moonrise and moonset. Fish tend to feed more actively during these windows.
