Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
Tyne and Wear — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 08:00–09:00.
The computed water temperature is around 11 °C — inside the 10–22 °C comfort range for Perch, so baseline activity is high.
Perch works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0 hPa over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
October is peak season for Perch here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Partly cloudy · feels like +11°
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.
