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

    Solunar feeding periods

    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.

    Recommendations

    Tactics

    Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: worm bottom rig or fish strip bait.

    Gear

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