The bite is weak — fish are sluggish. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 11:00–16:00 (daytime activity).
Pick a stretch of steady current, chum one spot and fish it — don't move around without reason.
Today's bait — boilies or sweetcorn.
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 72 °F — inside the 61–82 °F comfort range for Carp, so baseline activity is high.
Carp feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0.00 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
September is an average month for Carp here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +82°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.

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.
