Hourly activity and a seven-day calendar for Smallmouth bass.
Wednesday, October 21
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.
Lake Huron — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 08:00–10:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 8 °C — colder than the 15–24 °C comfort range for Smallmouth bass: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Smallmouth bass works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 1 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is an active season for Smallmouth bass here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +7°
The day is 4 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA forecast. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
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.
