Bay Les Étroits (New Brunswick) — a spot well known among anglers. About 2.3 km² in area. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. This page shows an hourly bite forecast for today and the week ahead; the algorithm factors in the weather, atmospheric pressure, and the moon phase.

Catches

Recorded 1 catch here. Most commonly caught: European eel. Peak season: July.

    Hourly activity

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

    The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).

    Tactics

    Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.

    Lures

    In clear water, natural colors work best: pirk or lugworm bottom rig.

    Gear

    Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.

    Summary

    An average day — best chances during peak windows.

    How this forecast is calculated

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 15 °C — warmer than the 4–12 °C comfort range for Atlantic cod: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.

    Atlantic cod 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 Atlantic cod feeds0:0012:0024:00

    Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0 hPa over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.

    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.

    Solunar feeding periods

    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.
