How the fishing times are worked out
Major periods run about 2 hours around the moon passing overhead and underfoot; minor periods about 1 hour around moonrise and moonset, following John Alden Knight’s solunar theory of 1926. They are a traditional guide, not a guarantee.
The times are computed in your browser with SunCalc for the Census Bureau 2023 Gazetteer internal point of each county, in that county’s local time, and can be checked against the US Naval Observatory sun and moon tables.
