Fishing bite forecast in Saint Petersburg โ in detail
The bite forecast is computed from real weather data for Saint Petersburg: atmospheric pressure and its dynamics, wind, cloud cover, precipitation, moon phase and water temperature โ Gulf of Finland, Neva. Each species gets its own score: for peaceful sea species (Baltic herring, flounder) comfortable water temperature and steady pressure matter most, for predators (cod, zander, perch) โ light, waves and season.
