Sea Whale Passage (Alaska) — a popular fishing spot. This is a sea water — its bite forecast is a marine one, computed apart from rivers and lakes. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

Hourly activity

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

The bite is strong — fish are active. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.

Peak bite hours

Best time — 07:00–10:00 (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

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.

Summary

Worth going — it's a productive day.

How this forecast is calculated

Why this forecast

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.

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

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.

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.
