Hourly activity

0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
Bite activity:highmediumlow

The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).

Tactics

Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: small jig or minnow bait.

Gear

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

Summary

An average day — best chances during peak windows.

How this forecast is calculated

Why this forecast

The computed water temperature is around 9 °C — colder than the 14–24 °C comfort range for Black crappie: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.

Black crappie works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.

The day: daylight hours and when Black crappie feeds0:0012:0024:00

Pressure is dropping 7 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.

Pressure through the day, 7 hPa change

One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.

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.
