Bay Paddy's Hole (North Yorkshire) — a spot well known among anglers. About 2 ha in area. Nearest town — Middlesbrough. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.
Nearest towns and cities
The basin is close to regular: the bank runs smooth and natural cover is scarce, so fish hold to the few anomalies — inflows, drop-offs and weed edges. Smaller than 13 of the 17 waters nearby.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.

Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
Paddy's Hole — Tuesday, November 3
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 06:00–09:00 and 16:00–18:00.
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 dropping 2 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
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.
November is peak season for Atlantic cod here.

Partly cloudy · feels like +7°
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 fieldquiet, Kp 2
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.
