Other nearby waters
The shoreline is heavily indented — bays, points and spits. Look for pike at the mouths of the bays and on the drop-offs behind the points. Larger than 10 of the 14 waters nearby.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.
Wednesday, October 21
Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
ThunderstormThunderstorm possible: put the rod down and leave open shoreline at the first rumble.
Loch an Eang — 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 12:00–15:00.
The computed water temperature is around 8 °C — colder than the 14–26 °C comfort range for Bleak: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Bleak feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 1 hPa over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
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.
October is an average month for Bleak here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Drizzle · feels like +6°
The day is 5 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.
