Sea Sound of Canna (Highland) — a popular fishing spot. About 22.3 km² in area. This is a sea water — its bite forecast is a marine one, computed apart from rivers and lakes. This page shows an hourly bite forecast for today and the week ahead; the algorithm factors in the weather, atmospheric pressure, and the moon phase.
Partly cloudy: 6–12 °C
The shoreline is moderately indented: bays and points alternate with even stretches. The largest water around: all 14 neighbours are smaller.
The longest fetch is 5 mi along the west — east axis: wind along it builds a wave on the open water and pushes silt and food towards the lee bank.

Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
Sound of Canna — Sunday, September 20
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 07:00–08:00 and 19:00–21:00.
The computed water temperature is around 10 °C — inside the 4–12 °C comfort range for Atlantic cod, so baseline activity is high.
Atlantic cod works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 21 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
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.
September is a slow season for Atlantic cod: 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

The day is 5 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.
