Bay Lower Blue Basin (Tennessee) — a popular fishing spot. About 12.7 km² in area. This is a sea water — its bite forecast is a marine one, computed apart from rivers and lakes. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.
Clear: 72–97 °F
Recorded 2 catches here. Most commonly caught: Largemouth bass. Peak season: May–December.
Wednesday, September 2
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite.
Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 20:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
In clear water, natural colors work best: swimbait or live bait.
It's a hot day — a hat, sunglasses, and plenty of water are a must.
Worth going — it's a productive day.
The computed water temperature is around 80 °F — warmer than the 61–75 °F comfort range for Striped bass: in the heat it drops deeper and feeds less often.
Striped bass works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0.03 inHg over the day, so the weather isn't shifting today's bite.
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 Striped bass here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +102°
The day is 2 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.
