Saturday, September 5
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.
Best time — 02:00–04:00 and 22:00–23:00 (nighttime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: catfish clonk with bait or large bottom bait.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.

Drizzle · feels like +14°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
The windows are set by the moon's transit and rise, and the forecast above already accounts for them: within these hours the bite score sits higher than across the rest of the day, while the day's overall level still comes from the catch-calibrated model.
