What is a bite calendar?
Sea

Hourly activity

0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
Bite activity:highmediumlow

The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 11:00–16:00 (daytime activity).

Tactics

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

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: trolling spoon or live bait.

Gear

It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.

Summary

An average day — best chances during peak windows.

Why this forecast

The computed water temperature is around 82 °F — inside the 68–84 °F comfort range for Cobia, so baseline activity is high.
