The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.
Best time — 00:00–04:00 (nighttime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: live-bait bottom rig or bunch of worms. The water's cold — work the lure slower than usual.
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.
A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.
The computed water temperature is around 6 °C — inside the 0–8 °C comfort range for Burbot, so baseline activity is high.
Burbot feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is rising 5 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is a slow season for Burbot: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +3°
The day is 6 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.
