Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 9:5 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.

Full Moon is generally a productive time for fishing - especially night fishing. Bright nights mean that many predators feed more actively during the night. During full moon the gravitational pull is in line with the gravitational pull of the sun, affecting all wildlife and increasing feeding behaviour.
  • Distance to earth:
    405,403 km
    Proximity:
    0.7 %
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.

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.

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 Hobart

Hobart’s fishing scene is built around the Derwent River estuary and the surrounding channels and bays of southeast Tasmania. Cool, nutrient-rich waters support an impressive mix of estuary, inshore and light offshore targets, allowing anglers to fish effectively 12 months of the year. Wind and weather drive most decisions here, so smart planning around tide, swell and wind direction is the key to consistent success.

The Derwent River is the backbone of Hobart fishing. Southern black bream are a headline species, with the best action from late autumn through spring when fish school over deeper edges and around structure. Target them along rocky shores, bridge pylons and marina edges using lightly weighted prawns, crab baits or 2–3 inch soft plastics in natural colours. In the warmer months, work shallow rock and flats at dawn with small hardbodies and surface lures for aggressive fish in skinny water.

Australian salmon are highly mobile and can turn up anywhere from Sandy Bay to the river mouth. Watch for working birds and surface bust-ups, then cast metal slugs, small stickbaits or soft plastics into the chaos and crank them quickly. When salmon are fussy, switch to smaller metals and vary retrieve speed. In low-light conditions, trolling shallow diving lures or small skirts along current lines is a reliable way to locate schools.

Flathead are the staple catch for many Hobart anglers. Broad, sandy areas near the river mouth, Howrah, Tranmere and across the lower estuary produce good numbers, especially in summer. Drift-fishing is the most efficient approach: use a simple running sinker rig with squid or pilchard strips, or hop 3–4 inch paddle-tail plastics across the bottom. Focus on depth changes, sand holes and the up-current edge of channels to consistently find better fish.

Squid (southern calamari) are a key inshore target, particularly around rocky points, kelp beds and marina lights from spring through autumn. Dawn, dusk and overcast days fish best. Work quality jigs (2.5–3.0 size) with a sharp lift-and-drop retrieve, keeping contact so you feel the slight weight of a following squid. Clear or natural patterns excel in the Derwent’s often clear water; switch to brighter colours if there’s some stain or cloud cover.

Outside the main estuary, the eastern shore and South Arm area provide productive rock and beach fishing. Surf beaches such as Seven Mile and Cremorne hold salmon, flathead and sometimes gummies, especially during a building tide with a light shore break. Use paternoster rigs with pilchard or bluebait, and keep sinkers just heavy enough to hold bottom so bites are obvious. From the rocks, metal lures and lightly weighted baits account for salmon, couta and the occasional kingfish in the warmer months.

Freshwater enthusiasts are within range of quality trout fishing. The upper Derwent and nearby lakes support brown and rainbow trout that respond well to small hardbodies, soft plastics and traditional wet flies. Early and late in the season, focus on deeper pools and current seams; in summer, target early mornings and evenings when trout move into shallower riffles to feed.

Across all of Hobart’s waters, timing and subtle presentation make the difference. Plan sessions around tide changes, especially the last of the run-in and first of the run-out, and downsize leaders in clear conditions. Keep a flexible kit of plastics, metals and bait rigs in the car, and match your approach to the day’s wind and water clarity to unlock consistently productive fishing around Hobart.

The Best Fishing Spots around Hobart

Constitution Dock

Right in the heart of the waterfront, the sheltered dock lights attract bait and predators, drawing Australian salmon, mullet, silver trevally, and night-time calamari; it’s a classic urban spot for light tackle and jigs, with anglers often working adjacent edges of Sullivans Cove and the nearby piers for roaming schools.

Sullivans Cove

The central cove around the waterfront piers holds bait and structure that attract Australian salmon, trevally, bream, and calamari; evenings and tidal changes are prime, with shore anglers casting from promenades and boaters working the edge lines toward Constitution Dock and across to Queens Domain.

Cornelian Bay

A favoured inner-Derwent bend with weed beds and drop-offs that fish well for bream, flathead, calamari, and schooling Australian salmon; soft plastics and vibes along the yacht moorings and rocky points shine, and small craft or kayaks can explore further toward New Town Bay and down to Sullivans Cove.

Bellerive Beach

This long, accessible beach on the eastern shore produces flathead, Australian salmon, and garfish, with calamari around weed patches; dawn and dusk gutters often hold fish, and mobile spinning or bait fishing can track moving schools that also appear along Howrah Beach and toward Lindisfarne Bay.

Howrah Beach

A family-friendly eastern shore strand where summer brings flathead and garfish, autumn sees runs of Australian salmon, and weed pockets invite calamari; light surf tactics and small metals cover roaming fish that also pass by Bellerive Beach and across the river at Kingston Beach.

Crayfish Point

Near Taroona, this rocky point and adjacent reefy shoreline consistently produce bream, wrasse, calamari, and passing Australian salmon; boaters and kayakers work drop-offs and current seams, while shore anglers fish plastics and bait into the wash, with similar terrain extending toward Taroona and up to Sandy Bay.

Kingston Beach

A popular southern beach with easy access and regular catches of Australian salmon, flathead, and summer garfish, plus calamari around weed beds; gutters shift after swells, and roaming schools often mirror activity across the river at Howrah Beach and down the coast toward Blackmans Bay.

Blackmans Bay

A sheltered bay with beach and rocky headlands that fish well for Australian salmon, flathead, bream, and calamari; lures and bait from the shore produce around the points, while small boats probe weed lines and sand patches, with similar opportunities nearby at Kingston Beach and toward North West Bay.

Frederick Henry Bay

A broad, productive bay east of the city renowned for flathead, Australian salmon, southern calamari, and in deeper areas gummy shark; boats drift sand flats and channels while shore anglers target accessible points and beaches, with connected waters like Pitt Water and Seven Mile Beach also holding fish.

Wharf's or Jetties are good places to wet a line and meet other fishermen. They often produce a fresh feed of fish and are also great to catch bait fish. As they are often well lit, they also provide a good opportunity for night fishing. There are 2 wharf(s) in this area.

Princess Wharf - 0.86045652573km , Macquarie Wharf - 0.86811816854km

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 18 beaches and bays in this area.
