INSTRUCTIONS: The default table range is 7 days beginning with the current date. You may select alternate date ranges by clicking on the From/To calendar icons.

The default location is Brady Creek Reservoir in the geographical center of Texas (Latitude N31.14, Longitude W-99.39).

To select an alternate location, hover your mouse pointer over the desired geographical region in the list, then select your lake or bay from the pop-up menu list. The Latitude/Longitude coordinates fields will automatically update with the coordinates for that lake or bay.

Optionally, you may enter coordinates directly into the Latitude/Longitude fields.

You may also select a different time zone, but the times displayed will be calculated based on the location coordinates as well. Be sure the selected coordinates are in the selected time zone.

After selecting the desired parameters, click the "Get Data" button to refresh the display.

NOTE: MAJOR feeding periods are 2 hours long, centered on the Solunar time you see in the table. If you have a MAJOR time of 5:30 A.M., then you would want to be at your location no later than 4:30 A.M. and remain there until at least 6:30 A.M.

MINOR feeding periods are only 1 hour long, again centered on the Solunar time.

Peak Activity Periods

Every day of the month has four peak activity times. These coincide with the two MAJOR and two MINOR times you see listed. However, there are certain days of the month that are far better than the rest. These are known as peak activity periods and there are generally two in every month. The best animal activity of the entire month will be seen during these periods. You might notice these periods align precisely with a New or Full moon.

The table notes these peak activity times with the word "Peak" in the Moon column.
