Northamptonshire — Wednesday, September 23
Pike will be active early morning and evening when light is low. They prefer these times because cooler temperatures make them hunt more. Peak 06:00–08:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 16 °C — inside the 8–20 °C comfort range for Pike, so baseline activity is high.
Pike works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 2 hPa over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is peak season for Pike here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +17°
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.
