Hourly activity

Bite activity:highmediumlow

The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 20:00–22:00 (dusk bite).

Tactics

Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.

Lures

The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: soft-plastic jig or pirk.

Gear

No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.

Summary

Worth going — it's a productive day.

Why this forecast

The computed water temperature is around 14 °C — inside the 8–16 °C comfort range for Pollack, so baseline activity is high.

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.
