John Alden Knights' Solunar Theory Page 3 of 6
June always has more combined sun-moon influence than any other month. During a FULL MOON the sun and moon are nearly opposite each other and very few minutes pass without one or the other being in our sky. During a NEW MOON, both bodies are in near-perfect rhythm traveling the skies together with their forces combined. Because of the interaction between the many lunar and solar cycles, no two days, months or years are identical.
When a period falls within 30 minutes to an hour of sunrise or sunset you can anticipate great action!
When you have a moonrise or moonset during that period the action will be even greater.
And, finally, when the above times occur during a NEW or FULL MOON, you can expect the best action of the season!
Every fisherman knows that fish do not feed all the time. He knows, also, that for some reason fish often go on the feed and take most any offering, be it live bait or artificial. This sort of thing happens, according to John Alden Knight (the originator of the theory) during a period. To be sure, fish usually feed actively at sunrise and sunset, but generally, the real fishing of the day is at the “odd hour” feeding periods. If the weather and feeding conditions are favorable the fish will be active for one to two hours.
