Recorded 27 catches of Striped bass in Texas. Most active — year-round. A day-by-day bite calendar for Striped bass.
Thursday, September 3
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Weather is steady, with no sharp swings — fish behave predictably.
Best time — 07:00–09:00 (dawn bite) and 19:00–21:00 (dusk bite).
Work the cover — snags, weed edges, hole entrances; retrieve the lure with pauses.
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.
An average day — best chances during peak windows.
The computed water temperature is around 85 °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.
September is an average month for Striped bass here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +94°
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.
