## What is Fishing Times Calendar?

Fishing Times informs you about the best time to go fishing in your area. The times are calculated based on your location, the solunar fishing theory and the ancient Maori fishing calendar.

We're using a unique Solunar Clock graphic to display our fishing times. It's a 24 hour clock with indicators for fishing times, sun and moon times, moon phase, tide times (if available for your location).

This app is based on our popular fishing times at https://www.fishingreminder.com


How to read the Solunar Clock:

Green Bars indicate major and minor fishing times.
Major times = best times, Minor = second best

Blue Bars indicate low and high tide times.

Centre indicates current moon phase

Grey line represents the current time

the fish bubbles indicate the current day rating (1-4)

Simple and easy to read, I like that part of it at my age, not crazy about the ads that keep
popping up but that’s the cost of a Free App I guess.
