How to Use This Calculator
  1. Select the current or planned tide phase: incoming, high, outgoing, or low — moving water is generally best.
  2. Choose the moon phase for your fishing date: new and full moons produce stronger tides and feeding periods.
  3. Select your fishing type: inshore (tide-critical), offshore (less so), or surf fishing.
  4. Pick the current season — fall and spring generally rate highest; winter is slowest.
  5. Read the Fishing Rating (out of 10) as your overall conditions score.
  6. Check the Best Window code (1=Dawn through 6=Night) and Peak Activity Level % to plan your launch time.
