Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:29 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.

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 Binghamton

Fishing in Binghamton, NY is dominated by the Susquehanna and Chenango Rivers, which converge in the city and create a rich multi-species fishery. These medium-sized rivers offer strong current seams, rocky ledges, and deep holes that consistently hold smallmouth bass, walleye, channel catfish, carp, and seasonal trout. In addition, nearby small lakes, reservoirs, and cold-water creeks around Broome County broaden the options for bass, panfish, and trout.

Seasonal patterns in Binghamton are distinct. In early spring, as river levels drop after snowmelt, walleye and channel catfish become active in slower outside bends and below dams and bridge abutments. Jigs tipped with soft plastics or minnows work well for walleye, while simple slip-sinker rigs with cut bait produce catfish. By late spring and throughout summer, smallmouth bass fishing peaks on both the Susquehanna and Chenango. Focus on rocky riffles, mid-river boulders, and current breaks at first light and last light. In fall, cooling water pushes walleye and bass into deeper holes and along ledges, and this is prime time for larger fish on crankbaits and jigs. Winter often means low, clear rivers; when safe access allows, downsized jigs and live bait fished slowly in the deepest pools can still turn fish.

Habitat types around Binghamton are varied. The main rivers offer:

  • Riffles with chunk rock that concentrate smallmouth bass and fallfish
  • Deep outside-bend holes that hold walleye, catfish, and carp
  • Bridge pilings, abutments, and riprap that provide shade and current breaks
  • Back eddies and side channels, especially at higher flows, for panfish and opportunistic bass

Cold-water tributaries and nearby hill-country creeks provide brown and brook trout opportunities in spring and fall, with undercut banks, pocket water, and plunge pools being the key spots. Smaller lakes and reservoirs within a short drive of Binghamton add weedlines, timber, and man-made structure for largemouth bass, panfish, and occasional pike or tiger muskie.

Common techniques and tactical tips revolve around matching river conditions. For smallmouth bass, 3–4 inch soft-plastic grubs, ned rigs, and tube jigs in natural colors excel when bounced along rocky bottoms. Topwater walkers and poppers shine at dawn and dusk on calm summer days, especially on the Chenango’s slower pools. When targeting walleye, fish low-light periods with suspending jerkbaits or shallow-running crankbaits along current edges and downstream of islands; switch to jigs and live bait as the sun gets higher.

Carp and catfish are abundant and underutilized. For carp, use simple hair rigs or sliding egg sinkers with canned corn or dough baits, placing them on gravel bars or gentle inside bends. For catfish, focus on deeper holes after dark with cut bait or live minnows on sturdy circle hooks. Panfish and rock bass are easily reached from shore using small jigs tipped with worms under a float around bridges, park access points, and slower side channels.

Presentation and safety matter on these rivers. Water levels can change quickly, so wade cautiously and prioritize firm gravel over slick rock. A long-handled net, wading staff, and polarized glasses help you read the river and land more fish. Use slightly heavier line than you would on smaller streams; 8–12 lb braid or mono with appropriate leaders handles current, rock, and the surprise carp or catfish that often grab a bass bait in Binghamton’s productive waters.

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.
