Fishing bite forecast in New Haven โ in detail
The bite forecast is computed from real weather data for New Haven: atmospheric pressure and its dynamics, wind, cloud cover, precipitation, moon phase and water temperature โ Atlantic Ocean. Each species gets its own score: for peaceful sea species (horse mackerel, mackerel, flounder, mullet) comfortable water temperature and steady pressure matter most, for predators (cod) โ light, waves and season.
