Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 14:55 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

  • Distance to earth:
    399,671 km
    Proximity:
    14.1 %
We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

All times are displayed in the America/New_York timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is -4 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). The center shows the current moon phase which is a Waning Gibbous at 84% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -4 hour and -7 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Welcome To Fishingreminder - Your Ultimate Fishing Almanac

The aim of this website is to provide vital fishing information for planning successful fishing trips. We want to give you the best fishing almanac the internet has to offer.

Fishing is a great hobby and in order to catch fish consistently we need to consider a wide range of parameters. We need to familiarize ourselves with the habitat of the target species, look for good fishing spots, decide which tackle to use, check weather, wind and tides and make an educated guess about the best time to go fishing on a given day.

Fishingreminder is here to help you decide when to go fishing. Fish have feeding times just like us, we call them bite times. But their feeding times follow a natural rhythm of sun and moon. Because sun and moon will change during the years, months and days the bite times for each day will vary.

For that reason a specific theory was developed to describe and predict bite times. It's called the Solunar Theory. Fishingreminder uses this theory to calculate a fishing calendar based on sun and moon movements, tides and weather. We have even included knowledge from the ancient Maori fishing calendar in our calculations.

According to the Solunar Theory all wildlife and not only fish follow a similar feeding rhythm. Fishingreminder can therefore also be used for hunting and bird watching to find times of increased feeding activity.

Sometimes we are very busy with work and other commitments and don’t have time or forget to check for good fishing days regularly. Only to realize a week or so after new moon that we have just missed what could have been an epic fishing session.

That’s why Fishingreminder will scan the best fishing times for your location daily and remind you per email when you should go out fishing. Cause we know that nothing is more frustrating then to miss a great fishing opportunity.

On the site you will find Major and Minor Fishing Times, Sun and Moon information, Tide information if available and Weather info’s.

There is also a Forum, which you can use to ask people for advice or help others with your knowledge. In the Photo Section you can share your photos and show us what you caught and comment on photos. We also have an Article section and try to upload interesting articles and links to help you become an even more successful fisherman.

So have fun, explore the site and share your thoughts and catches with us.


All the best and good luck to everyone!

I really like this app. I've been using the moon for fishing for 42 years. The app makes planning easy for the next fishing pleasure

Merry Christmas Eve, ⛄ fish reminder is without a doubt my go-to app for the moon phase and major and minor periods. I am 65 and come from a fishing family ever since I can remember my dad checked his almanac for major and minor. And kept up with the moon phase, fishing is full of superstition stories but knowledge is power and I turn to fish reminder before I even think of going fishing it makes it so easy to decide whether or not you even want to go out, thank you fish reminder for always giving me up to date information and information I can count on keep up the good work and happy holidays from Florida thanks again for making it easy to make decisions about fishing priceless tool every fisherman should have they make it easy to read the information you need to put your fishing game on point 👉

How do I correct the local time? The times showing for sunrise and sunset are one hour later than it really is here in the Central Time Zone (it is displaying as if the local setting is in the Eastern Time Zone).
3 months ago by Mark Totzke
Hi Michael, you have to select your correct location if it wasn't autodetected. Up top, next to the location name, click on the plus icon and then you can select your correct location on the map and then you will also get the correct time zone. Hope that helps. Cheers

I would be interested to know if predictions from the solunar theory need to be adjusted when fishing several km off-shore compared to when land-based fishing?
1 day ago by Mark Totzke
Offshore fishing several kilometres from shore can behave a bit differently compared to land-based fishing when it comes to solunar predictions. The actual solunar periods themselves don’t change much, since they are based on the position of the moon and sun, but the way fish respond to them often does. Land-based fishing is usually strongly affected by tidal movement around beaches, rocks, estuaries and shallow structure. Offshore, especially in deeper water, current direction and strength often become more important than tide height itself. Many offshore anglers notice the best bite happens when a strong solunar period lines up with good current flow or current changes. Pelagic species like tuna or kingfish can sometimes follow solunar feeding periods very strongly offshore, while deepwater species may respond more to current, bait schools, weather and water temperature. So in general, solunar predictions still work offshore, but offshore fishing often benefits from also considering: - current strength and direction - offshore structure and reefs - water temperature changes - bait activity - weather and barometric pressure A good solunar period combined with the right offshore conditions can produce excellent fishing.
