Lake Wash Pond (Rhode Island) — a popular fishing spot. About 2 ha in area. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.
Cloudy: 48–59 °F
The shoreline is heavily indented — bays, points and spits. Look for pike at the mouths of the bays and on the drop-offs behind the points. Smaller than 11 of the 14 waters nearby.
The water is sheltered: there is almost no fetch, so wind stirs it up very little.
Friday, September 18
Look for drop-offs and gaps in the weeds, retrieve slowly, lingering over promising spots.
Wash Pond — Friday, September 18
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. A thunderstorm is possible: activity rises before the front and drops after. Peak 06:00–08:00 and 18:00–20:00.
The computed water temperature is around 67 °F — inside the 57–75 °F comfort range for Black crappie, so baseline activity is high.
Black crappie works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is rising 0.06 inHg over the day — the bite usually settles down after a rise.
One more input — the moon's feeding windows: within their hours the score sits higher than across the rest of the day. The window times are in the “Solunar feeding periods” card below.
September is an active season for Black crappie here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +73°
The day is 3 min shorter than yesterday.
Sunshine hours count direct sun only — cloud cover cuts it, so it is shorter than daylight.
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.
