Today's solunar periods

  • Major: 12:42 AM–2:42 AM
  • Minor: 9:13 AM–10:13 AM
  • Major: 1:12 PM–3:12 PM
  • Minor: 6:04 PM–7:04 PM

Southeast wind at 10 mph — the northwest shore is windward.

Wind tends to push food, then baitfish, toward the bank it blows into — a rule of thumb, not a guarantee of where fish are. It says nothing about whether that shore is public or reachable.
