Arizona — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 06:00–08:00 and 17:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 80 °F — warmer than the 61–79 °F comfort range for Spotted bass: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Spotted bass works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.06 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is a slow season for Spotted bass: 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 +82°
The day is 2 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA data. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
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.
