Fishing Times, Solunar, Reports
The forecast for Port Macquarie is subdued today, so any bite window is likely to be brief. Because of the moon being overhead, the bite time currently forecasted offers potential for increased fish feeding activity. Passing showers; short windows of opportunity between rain.

Today's sunrise is 6:05 am and sunset is 7:01 pm. As a general guide, the hour before and after sunrise and sunset are often among the most productive fishing periods. Today's major solunar periods overlap both the morning and evening fishing periods. The sea-surface temperature is 21.2°C, which is generally more amenable to feeding activity.

No. Because no forecast can truthfully guarantee whether fish are biting at a specific spot right now. Getfished shows the current fishing conditions instead: tide movement, solunar timing, weather, wind, pressure, marine conditions and fishing report, derived, species history.
Use this information to make informed decisions about where to fish, and to compare conditions across nearby locations. Try different locations, different bait and lures. Remember to use berley and try to target a specific fish species in season.

Fishing report summaries are derived from Getfished’s structured fishing report database system. More information on this on how we collect and structure fishing report data can be found on our Fishing reports information.
Forecasts are based on the Getfished Meteorological and Solunar Forecasting System, which combines data from the BOM, and other sources. Our custom software systems use these inputs to establish solunar, tides and other forecasts for fishing conditions.
