    Hourly activity

    Bite activity:highmediumlow

    The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 00:00–03:00 and 23:00–23:00 (nighttime activity).

    Tactics

    Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.

    Lures

    In clear water, natural colors work best: soft-plastic jig or live bait.

    Gear

    Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.

    Summary

    Worth going — it's a productive day.

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 60 °F — inside the 54–75 °F comfort range for Flounder, so baseline activity is high.

    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.
