Glossary
Moon phases
The different shapes of the moon visible from Earth as it orbits, ranging from new moon to full moon and back.
New moon
The moon phase where the moon is between Earth and the Sun, making it invisible from Earth.
First quarter
The moon phase where half of the moon’s surface is illuminated, and it’s visible in the sky as a "half-moon."
Waxing/Waning Gibbous
Phases when the moon is more than half illuminated. "Waxing" means the illumination is increasing, while "waning" means it’s decreasing.
Last Quarter
Also called the third quarter, it's when the opposite half of the moon from the first quarter is illuminated, again showing a "half-moon."
Full moon
The moon phase when the entire moon is illuminated, appearing as a complete circle from Earth.
Moon Illumination
The percentage of the moon’s surface lit by the Sun as seen from Earth.
Moon Age
The number of days since the last new moon, helping determine the current moon phase.
Solar Noon
The time of day when the sun is at its highest point in the sky.

Is a full moon good for fishing?
Yes, a full moon can be good for fishing, particularly at night when the moonlight is strongest. Fish often feed more actively during this phase due to increased visibility and higher tides. By using Fishing Points, you can track the full moon phases and plan your fishing trips for optimal results.
Does a full moon affect fishing?
Absolutely. A full moon significantly impacts fishing by influencing tides and fish behavior. During a full moon, tides are typically higher, and fish tend to be more active, especially during nighttime hours. Fishing Points takes these lunar effects into account, offering you tailored forecasts to make the most of these prime fishing conditions.
What moon phase is best for fishing?
New and full moons generally provide the best fishing conditions due to stronger tidal effects and increased fish activity. Both of these moon phases result in greater movement of water, which often leads to more feeding opportunities for fish. Fishing Points highlights these optimal phases in its Fish Activity forecast, helping you time your trips for the best chances of success.
