These periods are a traditional moon calendar, not a forecast of fish activity. Is it science?
ZIP location: U.S. Census Bureau 2025 ZCTA Gazetteer (internal point).
A ZCTA is a Census statistical area. It is not a USPS delivery area.
Internal point 30.271, -97.743.
Times: astronomy-engine, tested against U.S. Naval Observatory data for 19 location-dates and 86 rise, set, and transit events. The largest difference was 30.8 seconds. The nearest principal moon phase differed by at most 1 minute 15 seconds.
On DST switch days USNO shifts the whole day's time zone and can omit one event; we show each event at the clock time it actually happens.
