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.

Recommendations

Tactics

Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.

Lures

The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: jig with grub or crankbait.

Gear

No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
