Pennsylvania — Tuesday, October 20
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is rising — activity tends to be more subdued. Peak 11:00–16:00.
The computed water temperature is around 56 °F — inside the 54–72 °F comfort range for Yellow perch, so baseline activity is high.
Yellow perch feeds by day — between sunrise and sunset; their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 0.09 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
October is an active season for Yellow perch here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +55°
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 data. 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.
