New Jersey — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 00:00–04:00 and 22:00–23:00.
The computed water temperature is around 58 °F — colder than the 61–79 °F comfort range for Black drum: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Black drum feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is dropping 0.09 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
October is an active season for Black drum here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +47°
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.
