Bedeque Bay (Prince Edward Island) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 71.3 km² in area. Salt water, not fresh — so this page carries its own marine bite forecast. 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.
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. The largest water around: all 20 neighbours are smaller.
The wind builds its wave along the north-west — south-east axis — 17 km of open water; along north-east — south-west there is only 10 km. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.

Wednesday, October 21
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Bedeque Bay — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 10 °C — inside the 4–12 °C comfort range for Atlantic cod, so baseline activity is high.
Atlantic cod works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 3 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather 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.
October is an active season for Atlantic cod here.

Partly cloudy · feels like +5°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldunsettled, Kp 4
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.
