How It Works
Solunar periods. Fish tend to feed more actively when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (major periods) and around moonrise and moonset (minor periods). Days around the new and full moon usually rate higher than the quarter moons.
Live weather.Falling barometric pressure ahead of a front often switches fish on; high, rising pressure after a front tends to slow things down. We blend the live pressure trend and wind into the rating, and the 7-day outlook shows each day's expected weather, temperature and rain chance — refreshed live every time you load the page.
Solunar theory is a guide trusted by generations of anglers, not a science — local knowledge, bait and patience still out-fish any forecast. Weather data: Open-Meteo.
