Bay Hook Arm (Alaska) — a spot well known among anglers. About 4.7 km² in area. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.

    9/10 · Good

    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 — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 21:00–23:00 (dusk bite).

    Tactics

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

    Lures

    The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: trolling spoon or spinner.

    Gear

    Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.

    Summary

    Worth going — it's a productive day.

    How this forecast is calculated

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 50 °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.

    The day: daylight hours and when Coho salmon feeds0:0012:0024:00

    Pressure is rising 0.24 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.

    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.

    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.
