Recorded 1 catch of Carp in Arizona. Most active — May. A day-by-day bite calendar for Carp.
Tackle, baits, spots and seasons — a full guide to catching Carp.
Read the guide →The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 10:00–16:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — boilies or sweetcorn. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.
It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must. Winds will be strong — wind protection helps, and be careful if you're in a boat.
A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.
The computed water temperature is around 92 °F — warmer than the 61–82 °F comfort range for Carp: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Carp feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0.00 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
September is a slow season for Carp: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +90°
The day is 2 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.
