Cimarron River — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 00:00–04:00 and 22:00–23:00.
The computed water temperature is around 68 °F — colder than the 68–86 °F comfort range for Blue catfish: the fish conserves energy and takes more cautiously.
Blue catfish feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
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 a slow season for Blue catfish: the best months fall at another time of year.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +68°
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 fieldquiet, Kp 3.7
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.
