Sea Peale Passage (Washington) — one of the area's fishing spots. About 7.7 km² in area. The town of Olympia is nearby. Salt water, not fresh — so this page carries its own marine bite forecast. Here you'll find a bite prediction — when fish are active and which hours give the best chances, adjusted for weather and pressure.

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 18 of the 20 waters nearby.
The wind builds its wave along the north-west — south-east axis — 5 mi of open water; along north-east — south-west there is only 2 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.

Look for structure — reefs, flats, channel edges; work them slowly near the bottom.
Peale Passage — Wednesday, October 21
The bite is moderate — fish feed in short bursts. Pressure is dropping — this usually boosts the bite. Peak 07:00–09:00 and 18:00–19:00.
The computed water temperature is around 57 °F — inside the 43–59 °F comfort range for Coho salmon, so baseline activity is high.
Coho salmon works the twilight: the peaks are pinned to sunrise and sunset — their times are in the sun-and-moon card above.
Pressure is dropping 0.12 inHg over the day — fish are usually more active ahead of a weather change.
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 Coho salmon here.
These are the same values the bite curve above was computed from. How the forecast works
Cloudy · feels like +57°
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 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.
