    What is a bite calendar?

    Hourly activity

    0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
    Bite activity:highmediumlow

    The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 11:00–17:00 (daytime activity).

    Tactics

    Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.

    Lures

    Today's bait — worm or tiny jig.

    Gear

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

    Summary

    A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 78 °F — inside the 64–82 °F comfort range for Bluegill, so baseline activity is high.

    Bluegill 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.

    September is a slow season for Bluegill: the best months fall at another time of year.

    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.
