Sea Afognak Strait (Alaska) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 11.2 km² in area. Salt water, not fresh — so this page carries its own marine bite forecast. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Cloudy: 43–57 °F
In the fish list, this icon marks species recorded here by GBIF. Unmarked species may still occur in the waterbody.
The bite is strong — fish are active. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.
Best time — 07:00–10:00 (dawn bite) and 21:00–23:00 (dusk bite).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: trolling spoon or spinner.
Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 51 °F — inside the 43–59 °F comfort range for Coho salmon, so baseline activity is high.
Coho salmon works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.32 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
September is peak season for Coho salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works

Open-Meteo Marine model, grid cell 4.5 mi from the waterbody. Values are daily means.
Cloudy · feels like +48°
The day is 5 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.
