Sea Eldred Passage (Alaska) — a spot well known among anglers. The town of Homer is nearby. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

Catches

Recorded 1 catch here. Most commonly caught: Coho salmon. Peak season: August.

    Hourly activity

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

    The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 07:00–10:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–23:00 (dusk bite).

    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 spinner.

    Gear

    Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore.

    Summary

    Worth going — it's a productive day.

    How this forecast is calculated

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 49 °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 0.09 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.

    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.
