Little Elm Bay (Texas) — a spot well known among anglers. About 1.2 km² in area. Nearby towns: Frisco, Lewisville and Denton. A coastal water: the bite here is modelled for the sea, not for a river or a lake. See when the bite is best: hourly fish activity for the days ahead, computed from the weather, pressure, and season.

The shoreline is heavily indented — bays, points and spits. Look for largemouth bass at the mouths of the bays and on the drop-offs behind the points. Larger than 10 of the 12 waters nearby.
The wind builds its wave along the north-east — south-west axis — 2 mi of open water; along north-west — south-east there is only 0.9 mi. When it runs down the main axis, the calm water sits against the bank it blows from, while the wave and the silt go to the far one — and the fish follow them there to feed.

Green check: this species was recorded here by GBIF. Species without a check may still occur in the waterbody.
Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
Little Elm Bay — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is strong — fish are active. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 00:00–04:00 and 23:00–23:00.
The computed water temperature is around 73 °F — inside the 61–79 °F comfort range for Black drum, so baseline activity is high.
Black drum feeds at night: the peak falls in the dark hours, between sunset and sunrise.
Pressure is flat: it moves no more than 0.00 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.
October is an active season for Black drum here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Clear · feels like +73°
The day is 2 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 forecast. 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.
