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

In clear water, natural colors work best: trolling spoon or spinner.

Gear

It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.
