The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:53 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.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

Cooler October waters around Halifax have sparked strong inshore action. School-size Striped Bass are cruising the Northwest Arm and harbour edges on the flood; work white soft plastics or a 1–2 oz bucktail along current seams. Pier anglers are still picking up Atlantic Mackerel during bait pushes—try small metals or sabiki rigs when birds are diving. From rocky points, Pollock hit small jigs dropped tight to structure. In nearby lakes, active Chain Pickerel and Smallmouth Bass chase downsized spinnerbaits and suspending jerkbaits as temps fall.

Best windows are dawn/dusk around a strong tide change. After blowy days, wait for clearing water and a northwest breeze to flatten the chop. Water temps in the low-mid teens push bait shallow; focus on lee shores and warm pockets in the afternoon. Natural baits like sandworms or clams excel for bass; chrome spoons shine when mackerel are up. Keep leaders light in clear water and scale down lures after cold nights.

Top tip: Mark a productive tide height on your phone (e.g., “one hour into the flood”)—return at that stage on future days to consistently reconnect with the same moving fish.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Halifax area

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 4 wharf(s) in this area.

Pickford & Black Wharf - 1.28898902844km , Furness Withy Co. Wharf (historical) - 1.36458498948km , No. 2 Deep Water Terminus Wharf (historical) - 1.66325298015km , Intercolonial Railway Wharf (historical) - 2.0240158057km

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 2 beaches and bays in this area.

Penhorn Lake Beach - 5.05543652566km , Albro Lake Beach - 5.15965989765km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 1 main harbours in this area.

Halifax Harbour - 2.22552126629km
