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.

Recommendations

Tactics

Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.

Lures

In clear water, natural colors work best: trolling spoon or spinner.

Gear

Pack transitional-season clothing — mornings and evenings are chilly.
