The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued.
Best time — 00:00–04:00 and 23:00–23:00 (nighttime activity).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
In clear water, natural colors work best: live-bait bottom rig or bunch of worms.
No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do.
A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.
The computed water temperature is around 65 °F — warmer than the 32–46 °F comfort range for Burbot: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Burbot feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is rising 0.15 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
September is an average month for Burbot here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works

The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
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.
