Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:6 hours of daylight.

In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Pottsville

Fishing around Pottsville centers on a mix of small creeks, mid-sized rivers, and nearby reservoirs that give anglers year-round options. Within 30–40 minutes of town you’ll find trout-heavy Pocono-border streams, productive warmwater lakes like Locust Lake and Tuscarora, plus access to the Schuylkill River system. This diversity means you can fish trout in the morning and chase bass or panfish in the afternoon without much driving.

Seasonal patterns drive the action. In early spring, freshly stocked rainbow, brown, and brook trout dominate local creeks and stockings-supported lakes. Cold, high flows call for slow presentations: small inline spinners, 1/16 oz marabou jigs, salmon eggs, and dough baits fished near bottom in deep bends and undercut banks. As flows drop and waters clear in late spring, switch to 4–6 lb fluorocarbon leaders and natural offerings like live worms, single eggs, and size 12–16 nymphs drifted through riffles and pocket water.

By late May, trout action tapers in lower-elevation creeks near Pottsville, and bass and panfish take center stage in area lakes and ponds. Look for largemouth bass around wood, weedlines, and any man-made structure. Early and late in the day, work the shallow flats and edges with topwater poppers, buzzbaits, or weightless soft stickbaits. Under bright midday sun, downsize to Texas-rigged plastics or jigs pitched tight to cover. Bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappie hold around docks, laydowns, and submerged brush—tiny hair jigs, small tube jigs under a float, or simple worm-and-bobber rigs keep rods bent for kids.

For river anglers, the Schuylkill River and its branches offer smallmouth bass, rock bass, walleye, and carp. Focus on current seams, eddies below riffles, and rocky runs. In summer, wade fishing with 1/8 oz tube jigs, small crayfish-imitating soft plastics, or in-line spinners is effective for river smallmouth. Morning and evening low-light periods often produce the best action, especially during low and clear water. Walleye relate to deeper pools and the heads and tails of holes—work them slowly with jig-and-minnow combos or 3–4" paddletails rolled near bottom.

Nearby lakes also hold predators like musky, pike, and chain pickerel. Target these fish with larger offerings—5–8" jerkbaits, glide baits, and big inline spinners—along weed edges, drop-offs, and creek inlets. Use heavier leaders to prevent bite-offs and focus on low-light or overcast days when these fish tend to roam. In fall, cooling water pushes baitfish shallow, and both bass and toothy critters feed aggressively along wind-blown shorelines.

Winter doesn’t shut down the Pottsville fishing scene. Open-water diehards work slow-moving river pools for walleye, catfish, and carp with bottom rigs and live or cut bait. Where safe ice forms on area lakes, panfish and perch can be caught on small tungsten jigs tipped with waxworms or spikes. Regardless of season, success around Pottsville comes from matching presentations to water conditions, covering water methodically, and keying on structure—depth changes, current breaks, wood, rock, and vegetation consistently hold fish.
