πŸŒ’ What is Solunar Theory ?
Solunar Theory suggests that animals β€” especially fish β€” are most active during specific times of the day and month. These peak periods are based on the gravitational influence of the Moon and Sun.

Major Periods usually align with the Moon being directly overhead or underfoot.
Minor Periods typically occur at moonrise or moonset.

The theory dates back to the 1920s and remains a popular tool for anglers seeking their best shot at a bite.
🎣 How is the Fishing Quality Score calculated ?
The score (1 to 5) is based primarily on the Moon's phase β€” since fish activity tends to spike near New and Full Moons β€” with adjustments for the timing and number of major/minor solunar periods.

While it's not a guarantee of a big catch, it’s a useful guide for planning your time on the water!
🌚 Why isn’t there always a moonrise or moonset ?
On some days β€” especially near the poles or during certain moon phases β€” the Moon may not rise or set at all. It all depends on your location and the Moon’s orbit.

If you see Moonrise: N/A or Moonset: N/A, it's not a bug β€” just a bit of sky magic.

Please Note : : Although the above information is based on Solunar Calculations, it does not take into account the effects of weather conditions on that day. This information is provided purely as as bit of fun, the same as going fishing, it's fun and lucky if you throw in a line and reel back a fish. Script by Tony @ Beaumaris Weather Tasmania
