Best fishing times at Wolf Trap Light

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. Tomorrow's best bet is 5:59 AM–7:59 AM: the moon underfoot. Solunar timing is folk wisdom more than science, so treat it as a tiebreaker alongside wind, light and what the fish are doing.
