The satellite measured 5.6 °F less yesterday than the model gives now: the water is probably colder than the forecast says.

Water temperature changes how fish behave: in very cold or very warm water they feed less. The water warms over the next few days: about 74.1 °F by Tuesday 3.

Water colder than normal for late October (−1.6 °F).

Today the moon is 226,432 mi away and looks 32′ 47″ across.

Solunar periods

Today's activity: medium
  • 12:44–2:44 am Major · the moon passes overhead · high activity
  • 1:16–3:16 pm Major · the moon passes underfoot · high activity
  • 6:27–7:27 am Minor · moonset · medium activity
  • 9:08–10:08 pm Minor · moonrise · medium activity

According to solunar theory, fish feed more when the moon passes overhead or underfoot (major periods, about 2 h) and when it rises or sets (minor periods, 1 h). It works best around new and full moon.
