Fishing and Moon Movement
Lunar Observation Direction (Hour Angle)
The lunar observation direction is expressed
as an hour angle, with an angle of 00:00 when
the Moon is directly overhead, 06:00 when it
is 90° to the west from overhead, 12:00 when
it is directly below, and 18:00 when it is 90° to
the east from overhead. The Moon takes an
average of approximately 24 hours and 50
minutes to perform one revolution around the
Earth.

On a monthly basis, fishing is said to
be best during a New Moon or Full
Moon phase, and next best during a
Last Quarter or First Quarter phase.
●
On a daily (hour angle) basis, fishing is
said to be best during hour angles
00:00 and 12:00, and next best during
hour angles 06:00 and 18:00.
●
The watch uses Fishing Mark counts
(×1, ×2, ×3, ×4) to indicate best fishing
times based on New Moon/Full Moon
and 00:00/12:00 hour angle
combinations.
Important!
●
Note that the season of the year, water
temperature and other factors greatly
influence fish behavior, so the
