Lunar Hunt & Fish

Every day has a best hour. Most people just don't know it. Lunar Hunt & Fish uses solunar theory to show you when fish and game are most likely to be active — down to the hour. It's not magic. The moon keeps a schedule, and so does the wildlife under it. Each day opens to a rating at a glance — Excellent to Poor — with the major and minor periods plotted on a 24-hour timeline. Majors run about two hours, when the moon is overhead or underfoot. Minors run about an hour, at moonrise and moonset. Four windows a day, sliding about fifty minutes later each morning as the moon pulls ahead of the sun. Swipe between days to scout ahead, and share any day as an image — handy for texting a buddy before a trip. The calendar lays out a full month of ratings and moon phases in one view. Swipe between months to plan further out. The strongest days surface on their own, so you're not squinting at numbers trying to compare. And since the moon's schedule is fixed, you can look as far ahead as you need to. Your spots — a lake, a lease, a stretch of coast — stay one tap away. Add them by searching or by dropping a pin on the map. Everything is computed on-device, so it works from a base camp, a blind, or a boat with no signal. No account, ever. A bit of history. John Alden Knight published solunar theory in 1926 after noticing that feeding and movement in fish and game lined up with the moon's position — something every serious hunter and angler already half-knew but couldn't quite pin down. He catalogued the patterns, named the periods, and wrote it up. Lunar Hunt & Fish uses his method. The strongest days fall near the new and full moon, when solar and lunar pull align. Knight considered it a red-letter day when a major period also coincided with sunrise or sunset. Those are the days worth setting an alarm for. "The time of day, not the day itself, determines whether sport will be good." — John Alden Knight, Moon Up — Moon Down, 1942 Pay once. No subscription, no tiers, no "pro" version.
