Wednesday 20 May. Winds: Southwesterly 10 to 15 knots. Seas: Below 0.5 metres. Weather: Mostly sunny.

Best windows combine civil twilight with the hour either side of sun transit — the universal low-light feeding window most species respond to. Moon phase influence is folkloric; full and new moons coincide with the strongest tide swings.
