Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Essex — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 12 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Dace, so baseline activity is high.
Dace 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 an active season for Dace here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +6°
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 fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
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.
