Bay Kellys Cove (Prince Edward Island) — a popular fishing spot. About 14 ha in area. Nearest town — Charlottetown. This is a sea water — its bite forecast is a marine one, computed apart from rivers and lakes. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.
Thursday, September 3
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 06:00–08:00 (dawn bite).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
In clear water, natural colors work best: pirk or lugworm bottom rig.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
The computed water temperature is around 18 °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.
Pressure is dropping 6 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.
September is an average month for Atlantic cod here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works

Cloudy · feels like +19°
The day is 3 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.
