Activity scores combine moon phase strength, astronomical moonrise/moonset and moon transit windows, plus overlap with nearby tide changes. Treat this as a planning guide, not a guarantee.

Understanding Tides & Feeding Times

High & Low Tides 🌊

The ocean “breathes” in and out through the day.

  • High Tide = peak water level.

  • Low Tide = lowest water level before it rises again.
    Around Miami you’ll usually see two highs and two lows every 24 hours (semi-diurnal tides). Fish activity often picks up about an hour before and after each tide change because the water is moving and bait is on the move.

Major & Minor Feeding Times 🎣

These bite windows are driven by the sun and moon.

  • Major Feeding: strongest windows when the moon is overhead or underfoot.

  • Minor Feeding: shorter bumps when the moon is rising or setting.
    Match these windows with a tide swing for your best odds.

Moon Phases 🌕

The moon cycle is ~29.5 days, and each phase (crescent, quarter, gibbous, etc.) lasts about 3–4 days. Phases are a quick way to gauge how strong solunar effects may be on a given week.

Full Moon (and New Moon) — What Changes?

On Full Moon (and also New Moon) the combined sun–moon pull is stronger. In practice that often means:

  • Majors: tend to be longer and more active.

  • Minors: often stronger than usual.

  • Tides: can have a bit more range, which keeps water moving and can help the bite.

Tip: If your day lines up with a Major during a tide change on a Full or New Moon, that’s a prime window to be on your spot.

Quick Tips

  • Pick the nearest station (North/Mid/Offshore) for more accurate tide times.

  • Plan your trip around movement: aim to fish 60–90 min around each High/Low and the Major/Minor windows.

  • Glassy mornings? Check the Minor around moonrise; it can light up an otherwise slow start.
