Today’s major and minor feeding windows, moon phase and sunrise-to-sunset for any Florida region — calculated fresh from the sun and moon’s actual positions over that water, in that region’s time zone. No app, no login.
Today’s windows
Majors are the two hours around the moon being overhead or underfoot; minors are the 90 minutes around moonrise and moonset. “Biting now” and “Next up” update every minute.
What majors and minors are
The solunar idea, developed by John Alden Knight in the 1920s, is that fish and game feed hardest when the moon is directly overhead or directly underfoot (the majors) and, less strongly, at moonrise and moonset (the minors). The day rating stacks on top: new and full moons, when sun and moon pull together, rate higher than the quarters. This page runs that model against the real moon position over your region rather than reading a printed table made for somewhere else.
How to stack it with the tide
A solunar window by itself is a nudge. A solunar window that lands on the last of the incoming tide at first light is a plan. Open the tide chart for the same region and look for overlap: a major that sits inside moving water, especially at dawn or dusk, is the hour to be on the spot with the bait already in the water. When they disagree, fish the tide — moving water feeds fish on days the moon says they should be asleep.
It is a model, not a forecast
Nobody has proven solunar theory in a controlled way, and a cold front, dirty water or a dead-slack tide will beat the moon every time. What it is good for is giving the day a shape: a reason to be on the water at 6:40 rather than 9:00. Used that way, alongside the tide and the weather, it earns its place. Used as gospel, it will make you late for the real bite.
