Fish bait near structure on the bottom and don't rush to change spots.
Maryland — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is strong — fish are active. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 60 °F — inside the 54–75 °F comfort range for Sheepshead, so baseline activity is high.
Sheepshead 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.
October is an active season for Sheepshead here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +57°
The day is 2 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 data. 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.
