Recorded 5 catches of Red drum in Georgia. Most active — April–November. A day-by-day bite calendar for Red drum.
Sunday, September 6
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
In clear water, natural colors work best: soft-plastic jig or live bait.
It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 81 °F — inside the 64–82 °F comfort range for Red drum, so baseline activity is high.
Red drum works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 0.03 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is peak season for Red drum here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +101°
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.
