Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:59 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.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    363,534 km
    Proximity:
    99 %
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.

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 New Moon at 0% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a excellent day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Currently we have a minor fishing time. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -10 hour and -12 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

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 Aberdeen

Aberdeen sits on a productive stretch of Scotland’s north‑east coast where the North Sea meets river estuaries and rocky headlands, creating varied fishing for cod, pollack, flatfish and summer mackerel. The key to consistent results around Aberdeen is matching rigs and tactics to the season and specific marks, particularly along Aberdeen Beach, the harbour area, and the rocky ground towards Footdee and south to Cove.

Winter and early spring are prime for cod and whiting. Heavy seas stir up the sand and rough ground off Aberdeen Beach and the rock marks south of the city, pushing fish inshore. Distance casting with clipped-down pulley rigs or simple paternosters carrying 4–6oz grip leads is effective. Fresh lugworm and black lug, tipped with squid or mackerel strip, are standout cod baits. Fish into the darker hours and on a flooding tide that coincides with rougher conditions for the best chance of larger cod and mixed whiting and coalfish bags.

From late spring into autumn, Aberdeen comes into its own for flatfish, pollack and mackerel. On calmer days, Aberdeen Beach and the River Don estuary give good returns of flounder, dab and the odd plaice. Use light beach gear or even a stronger spinning rod with two‑hook flapper rigs, size 1–2 hooks and small baits of ragworm, lugworm or mackerel strip. Long, flowing snoods and beads or sequins can draw more bites in clear water. For pollack and coalfish, target the rockier ground and structure around the harbour walls, breakwaters and the marks towards Cove, fishing soft plastic lures or float‑fished sandeels close to kelp beds and drop-offs.

Summer also brings shoals of mackerel tight to shore. Piers and harbour structures in the Aberdeen area are classic spots. A set of small silver or luminous feathers or Sabiki rigs, worked through mid-water, will fill a bag quickly when the fish are in. Downsize feathers and switch to single-hook lures or small metals when the water is very clear or the fish are picky. Early morning and late evening, especially on a rising tide, are peak times.

The River Dee and River Don systems and their estuaries add further options. Sea trout and occasional salmon move through, and flounders are widespread. Estuary flatties often respond well to light tackle: a 9–10ft spinning rod, small fixed spool reel and 10–12lb mainline, with running ledger rigs and minimal lead to let baits move naturally in the tide. Worm baits, crab and mackerel strip are consistent producers, and fan casting to cover channels and gutters increases your chances.

Boat anglers working out of Aberdeen can access deeper offshore ground for cod, ling, haddock and occasional spurdog and rays. Standard boat rigs such as flowing traces or one‑up, one‑down paternosters baited with mackerel, squid or worm perform well, while shads and pirks jigged near wrecks and rough ground account for better fish.

Tactically, Aberdeen rewards mobility and observation. Note where sand meets rock, look for surf tables along Aberdeen Beach, and time sessions around tide movement rather than clock time alone. Carry a mix of worm, fish and squid baits, plus a selection of lures, so you can change quickly if conditions or target species shift through the tide.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Aberdeen area

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 16 beaches and bays in this area.

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.
