Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
County Antrim — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 12:00–15:00 and 16:00–17:00.
The computed water temperature is around 9 °C — inside the 6–18 °C comfort range for Grayling, so baseline activity is high.
Grayling feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 6 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is peak season for Grayling here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +2°
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 fieldunsettled, Kp 4
Kp index — NOAA data. 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.
