Friday, September 4
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 10:00–15:00 (daytime activity).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
The water's turning murky — go with bright, noisy lures: trolling spoon or live bait.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. Rain is expected — don't forget a rain jacket or a waterproof shell.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
The computed water temperature is around 60 °F — colder than the 68–84 °F comfort range for Cobia: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Cobia 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 0.03 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
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.
September is an active season for Cobia here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works

The day is 1 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.
What are solunar periods?Keauhou Bay (Hawaii) — a spot well known among anglers. About 9 ha in area. The town of Kailua-Kona is nearby. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Cloudy: 54–66 °F
