Best fishing times at Picton

Solunar bite windows for today and tomorrow, in local time: major periods (about 2 hours) when the moon is overhead or underfoot, minor periods (about an hour) around moonrise and moonset. A window with the tide turning inside it is the classic pick. Today's best bet is 6:09 PM–8:09 PM: the moon overhead. Solunar timing is folk wisdom more than science, so treat it as a tiebreaker alongside wind, light and what the fish are doing.
