Solunar tables are a fisherman's best friend. Solunar periods dictate high rates of activity. The moon in its relationship to the earth, as well as the sun and its pull, are all playing a part in that high solunar activity. If the moon is coming up at the same time as the sun is coming up, you have a moon rise major and these two solunar components impact tide. Moon over head, moon under food and moon set are the three components you want to pay attention to. If those correlate or are in unison with a sunrise or sunset, you'll have your major feeding periods. Paying attention to the solunar components will optimize your time in highly productive areas, which will give you a better chance of catching trophy speckled trout.
