    Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

    Solunar feeding periods

    +12% in the windowWednesday, September 9
    Feeding windows on the day scale, local time0:0012:0024:00

    • Minor18:57–19:57Moonset

    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.

    What are solunar periods?

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.

    Lures

    In clear water, natural colors work best: worm bottom rig or fish strip bait.

    Gear

    Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
