    What is a bite calendar?

    Hourly activity

    0:006:0012:0018:0023:00
    Bite activity:highmediumlow

    The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after.

    Peak bite hours

    Best time — 11:00–15:00 (daytime activity).

    Tactics

    Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.

    Lures

    Today's bait — worm or tiny jig. In cold or murky water, add scent to your chum.

    Gear

    No special gear needed — seasonal clothing will do. A thunderstorm is possible — bring a rain jacket, and pack up at the first rumble of thunder.

    Summary

    A slow day — go only if you really feel like it.

    Why this forecast

    The computed water temperature is around 65 °F — inside the 64–82 °F comfort range for Bluegill, 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.
