What it means for fishing
By the solunar rule of thumb, today rates 5 out of 5. Around new and full moons the sun and moon pull together, producing larger "spring" tidal ranges and stronger currents — the periods many anglers watch most closely.
Solunar ratings are an angler reference built on generations of fishermen's lore, not a scientific prediction of fish activity. Check your local tide windows on a location page for specifics.
