Sun and Moon

The sun will be at it's highest point at 11:59 am. Today we have 9:38 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

Nautical Twilight begins:

06:07 am

Sunrise:

07:10 am
Sunset:

04:48 pm

Nautical Twilight ends:

05:51 pm
Moonrise:

08:38 pm
Moonset:

11:11 am
Moon over:

03:22 am
Moon under:

03:54 pm
Visibility:

81%
Waning Gibbous

Next New Moon in 11 days on 12th December

Distance to earth:

401,019 km

Proximity:

11 %

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.

Moon Phases for Ashburn

Solunar Clock

Settings

Display Settings:

average Day

The Solunarclock displays the best fishing times on a 24 hour clock. Green areas represent major bite times, yellow minor bite times, blue high and low tides, the center displays the moon phase and illumination (81%).

Best fishing times:

major Time:

02:22 am - 04:22 am
minor Time:

10:11 am - 12:11 pm
major Time:

02:54 pm - 04:54 pm
minor Time:

07:38 pm - 09:38 pm

All times are displayed in the America/New_York timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is -5 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a Waning Gibbous at 81% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a average day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in 1 hour and 28 minutes. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

Tides for Fishing: Fri, 1 Dec

Tide Clock

The Tideclock displays the tide status and the hours until the next tide. Currently the tide is falling and the next low tide is in 4 hours and 54 minutes.

Tide Graph

Times

Tide	Time	Height
low	05:48 am	0.03 ft
high	11:19 am	2.56 ft
low	05:36 pm	0.07 ft
high	11:29 pm	2.85 ft

Tide Coefficient at 11:19 am is 79

Tide Coefficient at 11:29 pm is 98

For fishing, stronger tides are often favourable as they cause stronger currents and more motion on the sea bed. The above tidal coefficients give us an indication of how strong the tides are compared to their average. A value over 90 indicates very strong tides, known as spring tides. A low value indicates weak tides, known as neap tides. The tidal coefficient can range from 20 to 120 with a mean value of 70. A higher number usually indicates better fishing.

Wind Speed and Direction

Wind Direction:

Wind Speed:

Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.

Fishing Barometer

Atmospheric Pressure:

Change since midnight:

Trend for next 6 hours:

Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.

UV Effect on Fishing

UV Index:

As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Welcome To Fishingreminder - Your Ultimate Fishing Almanac

The aim of this website is to provide vital fishing information for planning successful fishing trips. We want to give you the best fishing almanac the internet has to offer.

Fishing is a great hobby and in order to catch fish consistently we need to consider a wide range of parameters. We need to familiarize ourselves with the habitat of the target species, look for good fishing spots, decide which tackle to use, check weather, wind and tides and make an educated guess about the best time to go fishing on a given day.

Fishingreminder is here to help you decide when to go fishing. Fish have feeding times just like us, we call them bite times. But their feeding times follow a natural rhythm of sun and moon. Because sun and moon will change during the years, months and days the bite times for each day will vary.

For that reason a specific theory was developed to describe and predict bite times. It's called the Solunar Theory. Fishingreminder uses this theory to calculate a fishing calendar based on sun and moon movements, tides and weather. We have even included knowledge from the ancient Maori fishing calendar in our calculations.

According to the Solunar Theory all wildlife and not only fish follow a similar feeding rhythm. Fishingreminder can therefore also be used for hunting and bird watching to find times of increased feeding activity.

Sometimes we are very busy with work and other commitments and don’t have time or forget to check for good fishing days regularly. Only to realize a week or so after new moon that we have just missed what could have been an epic fishing session.

That’s why Fishingreminder will scan the best fishing times for your location daily and remind you per email when you should go out fishing. Cause we know that nothing is more frustrating then to miss a great fishing opportunity.

On the site you will find Major and Minor Fishing Times, Sun and Moon information, Tide information if available and Weather info’s.

There is also a Forum, which you can use to ask people for advice or help others with your knowledge. In the Photo Section you can share your photos and show us what you caught and comment on photos. We also have an Article section and try to upload interesting articles and links to help you become an even more successful fisherman.

So have fun, explore the site and share your thoughts and catches with us.

All the best and good luck to everyone!

Any recommendation from anyone in Gladstone on the best place to go anytime for fishing? And it would have to be landbased as I do not have a boat.

The best time to fish for pompano in Trinidad is typically from late spring to early fall, roughly between April and September. This is when they're most abundant and close to shore. Happy fishing! 🎣
