Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:4 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.

Fishing Overview Fredericton

Fredericton, New Brunswick sits on a prime stretch of the Saint John River, giving anglers a long open-water season and a wide variety of species. The river’s broad flats, deep channels, rocky points and weeded back bays all come into play, and knowing how fish use these areas through the seasons is key to consistent success.

Spring fishing around Fredericton starts as soon as the river sheds ice and levels stabilize. Smallmouth bass stage on rocky points, current breaks and the mouths of tributaries. Jigs with 3–4 inch soft-plastic minnows, tube baits and ned rigs drifted slowly along bottom produce well in the cool water. Chain pickerel push into flooded grass and backwaters; target them with bright spinnerbaits, suspending jerkbaits and weedless spoons worked around emerging weeds and submerged brush. Early runs of striped bass can show in the main Saint John River corridor; focus on current seams and deeper bends with 4–6 inch soft swimbaits and metal spoons.

Summer brings stable patterns. Smallmouth bass in the Fredericton stretch shift to rocky shoals, bridge pilings and mid-river humps. Dawn and dusk are prime; throw topwater walking baits, poppers and small buzzbaits over 6–12 feet of water, then switch to finesse jigs, drop-shot rigs and crankbaits once the sun climbs. Chain pickerel remain dependable in weedy bays and side channels—cover water with inline spinners and weedless frogs over pad fields. Yellow and white perch school along edges of weedbeds and moderate current; light spinning tackle with small jigs, minnows or worms under a float keeps rods bending.

Throughout summer and into early fall, muskellunge are a major draw on the Saint John River. Key areas include deep outside bends, submerged timber, and weedlines adjacent to the shipping channel. Use heavy baitcasting gear with 80 lb braid, throwing large bucktail spinners, jerkbaits and soft-plastic swim baits. Make figure-eight passes at boatside—many Fredericton muskies follow lures right to the net. Overcast, breezy conditions and evenings often trigger the best action.

Fall is one of the most productive seasons around Fredericton. Cooling water pushes smallmouth and perch into tighter schools on steep breaks and channel edges. Medium-diving crankbaits, blade baits and lipless cranks imitate fleeing baitfish and let you cover water quickly. Muskies feed heavily before winter; slow-roll big paddle-tail swimbaits and rubber jerkbaits along drop-offs and mid-river rock piles. In tributary streams and small lakes near Fredericton, brook trout, lake trout and the occasional rainbow trout respond well to spinners, small spoons and bait presentations drifted naturally with the current.

Winter brings ice fishing options on smaller lakes and back bays off the Saint John system when conditions allow. Chain pickerel, perch and panfish hold near weed edges and subtle points. Use tip-ups rigged with live or dead bait set at varying depths, and jig small spoons or tungsten jigs tipped with maggots or soft plastics just off bottom.

Across all seasons, success around Fredericton hinges on reading current, structure and water levels. Focus on areas where rock meets sand, weeds meet open water, or fast current dumps into slack pockets. Use your sonar to find baitfish, adjust lure size to water clarity—larger profiles and louder baits in stained water, natural finishes and finesse tactics in clear flows—and be prepared to move frequently until you contact active fish.

The Best Fishing Spots around Fredericton

Saint John River

Flowing through Fredericton, the Saint John River offers expansive shore and boat access for smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, muskellunge, and yellow perch. Broad flats, weedlines, and current seams fish well from late spring through fall, with evening topwater for bass and big plugs for muskies; nearby stretches toward Oromocto and Jemseg open up even more productive water.

Oromocto River

Meeting the Saint John River at Oromocto, this slower, weedy river produces strong action for chain pickerel, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch, with spring and early summer particularly good around the mouth, back channels, and emergent weedlines accessible by canoe, kayak, or from public shoreline.

Nashwaak River

Entering the Saint John River on Fredericton’s north side, the Nashwaak offers easy-access pools and runs where anglers target smallmouth bass in warmer months and find cool, moving water that fishes best at dawn and dusk; the lower river pairs well with nearby spots along the Saint John River.

Killarney Lake

A popular city lake with trails and beaches, Killarney Lake provides family-friendly fishing for chain pickerel, yellow perch, and panfish, with warm-season weed edges and shallow bays producing steady action from shore or small boats; it’s a convenient alternative to larger waters like Mactaquac Headpond.

Grand Lake

New Brunswick’s largest lake lies a short drive from Fredericton and is known for expansive flats and drop-offs that hold smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, and yellow perch; anglers work windblown points, shoals, and weedlines through summer, with nearby connections to the Jemseg River and Saint John River broadening options.

Gagetown Creek

Adjacent to the village of Gagetown, this sheltered creek off the Saint John River is a classic spot for chain pickerel, smallmouth bass, and perch, with lily pads and submerged grass lines that shine from late spring through early fall; it’s a favored calm-water option compared to the open main stem.

Interactive Fishing Map for the greater Fredericton 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.
