Every species has a bite window — that stretch of time where conditions, instincts, and opportunity line up. This page lays the groundwork for turning those patterns into something you can glance at and instantly feel.
Species bite is the way HuntFish thinks about feeding and activity windows. Instead of generic “good” or “bad” days, we care about how a specific species responds to changes in weather, light, and pressure in real time.
As this page evolves, it becomes the hub where you can plug in a location, pick a species, and see how close you are to its best bite window — on the water or in the field.
Different species lean on different signals, but a few inputs consistently move the needle. The full HuntFish engine will eventually score and weight these in real time:
Sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and cloud cover change how aggressive or cautious a species feeds. Some species push hard into low light, some slide into mid-day, and some spike around fronts and moon overhead times.
Sharp pressure changes, incoming fronts, and post-front bluebird days all hit different species differently. The same system that powers your hunting and pressure pages will feed this bite logic.
Water temperature shifts, cold snaps, heat waves, and seasonal transitions all carve out bite windows — especially when species are pinned near a comfort range or staging for spawn, migration, or rut.
Right now, this is the cinematic framework — clean, fast, and aligned with your moon and hunting pages. Next, it becomes a live tool:
As you plug in data, this page turns into a species-agnostic bite dashboard — one layer in a larger HuntFish system that stays honest, simple, and cinematic.
