The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 00:00–03:00 and 22:00–23:00 (nighttime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: catfish clonk with bait or large bottom bait.
Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 13 °C — colder than the 16–28 °C comfort range for Wels catfish: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Wels catfish feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is dropping 1 hPa over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
September is an active season for Wels catfish here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +9°
The day is 3 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.
