    Tactics

    Chum one spot near a drop-off and wait for fish to arrive — don't chase them.

    Lures

    Today's bait — boilies or sweetcorn.

    Gear

    Bring a warm jacket — it's noticeably colder on the water than on shore.

    Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.

    Solunar feeding periods

    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.
