The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 11:15 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:
    398,421 km
    Proximity:
    17.1 %
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. 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 temps around Atlanta kick off a strong fall bite. On Lake Lanier, spotted bass are pushing bait to points and creek mouths; work early and late with topwater walkers, flukes, and small swimbaits, then switch to underspins or jerkbaits as the sun rises. Occasional striped bass blitzes pop up near mid-lake—watch for birds and toss white bucktails or herring-imitating plugs.

The Chattahoochee below Buford Dam fishes well for trout during low-light windows; drift small nymphs or swing olive/black streamers when generation eases. Around Allatoona and West Point, crappie stack on brush in 10–18 feet; shoot docks or jig bright plastics on 1/32–1/16 oz heads. Shoal bass and river catfish respond to crayfish-pattern jigs and cut bait in deeper seams.

Expect mixed clarity from fall turnover; target wind-blown banks where bait stacks, and use natural colors in clear water, brighter in stain.

Top tip: Keep a topwater rod rigged all day—brief surface feeds are common in October, and a fast cast to schooling fish can be the difference between a slow day and a limit of bites.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Atlanta 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 1 beaches and bays in this area.
