Best time — 11:00–15:00 and 16:00–17:00 (daytime activity).
Fish bait near structure on the bottom and don't rush to change spots.
Today's bait — bread bait or shrimp. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 17 °C — inside the 12–20 °C comfort range for Grey mullet, so baseline activity is high.

Pressure is dropping 2 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is peak season for Grey mullet here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +16°
The day is 4 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.
