Recommendations

Tactics

Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: spinner or small crankbait. The water's cold — work the lure slower than usual.

Gear

Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore.

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.
