Bay Bocabec Cove (Maine) — a spot well known among anglers. About 2 km² in area. Nearest town — Calais. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.

The basin is close to regular: the bank runs smooth and natural cover is scarce, so fish hold to the few anomalies — inflows, drop-offs and weed edges. Larger than 15 of the 20 waters nearby.
The longest fetch is 1 mi along the north-west — south-east axis: wind along it builds a wave on the open water and pushes silt and food towards the lee bank.

Wednesday, October 21
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom. The water's cold — fish it more delicately and slowly.
Bocabec Cove — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 07:00–08:00 and 17:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 46 °F — inside the 39–57 °F comfort range for Atlantic salmon, so baseline activity is high.
Atlantic salmon works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.15 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
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.
October is an active season for Atlantic salmon here.

Clear · feels like +40°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
Geomagnetic fieldG1 geomagnetic storm, Kp 4.7
Kp index — NOAA forecast. Not part of the bite score: catches show no link between geomagnetic storms and the bite.
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.
