How it works
- Enter a date and your general location.
- The tool calculates the moon phase and tide timing.
- See the suggested major and minor fishing windows.
The method
Major periods are estimated around moon overhead/underfoot times, and minor periods around moonrise/moonset, then cross-referenced with the nearest tide change for that date.
FAQ
Why do moon phase and tide matter for fishing?
Many anglers find fish more active around major and minor feeding periods tied to moon position and moving tides, which shift the water and stir up bait.
What are "major" and "minor" periods?
Major periods (roughly when the moon is overhead or underfoot) tend to be longer, stronger feeding windows; minor periods (moonrise/moonset) are shorter secondary windows.
Is this guaranteed to predict good fishing?
No — it's a general planning guide based on lunar and tidal patterns. Weather, water temperature, and local conditions matter too.
