    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.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: 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. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
