Note the wind direction. If, for example, it is from the southeast (135°), look at northwest-facing shorelines or structures. That’s where bait and surface activity may be concentrated.
Try and target wind-blown points, grasslines, or current edges.
Fish aggressively during these times — work high-confidence spots with your best lures or baits.
Major 1: Moon transit (when it’s highest in the sky)
Major 2: Moon underfoot (approximately 12 hours later)
The minor periods focus on high-percentage areas, but these are more like bonus windows.
…and if a major period happens around sunrise or sunset, that’s a “prime bite window” — fish activity spikes even higher.
Fishability Index Rankings:
80–100 🟢 “Excellent” – prime bite window
