Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:33 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 Blackpool

Blackpool fishing centres on the long, accessible seafront and its mix of piers, promenades and surf beaches. The shallow, gently sloping Irish Sea foreshore offers classic North West saltwater sport with cod, whiting, rays, bass and flatfish available at different times of year. Most anglers fish from the sea wall, steps or piers, focusing on the flood and first of the ebb when tides push fish tight to the structure and into the gutters.

Winter and early spring are prime for cod and whiting, especially along the main promenade and near the piers. Fish the bigger tides into darkness with 4–6oz gripper leads and long pulley rigs or two-hook flappers loaded with lugworm, black lug and squid cocktails. Cod often hold on any rougher patches or broken ground, while whiting roam the open sand. Keep baits fresh and compact, and vary casting distance to locate fish lanes created by the surf.

From late spring through autumn, attention shifts to thornback rays, smoothhounds and bass. Rays favour sandy patches near the ends of Central and North Pier and the deeper gullies along the lower promenade. Target them on flooding tides with fish or squid baits on pulley pennel rigs using 3/0–4/0 hooks. Smoothhounds show on the warmer months’ bigger tides, especially around rough ground and shallow banks; use peeler crab on strong mono or fluorocarbon snoods and be prepared for long, fast runs.

Flatfish such as plaice, dabs, flounder and the odd turbot or sole are a realistic catch from spring onwards along the beaches towards South Shore and beyond. Light surf gear and two- or three-hook flappers with size 1–2 hooks tipped with ragworm, lugworm or maddies work well. Add coloured beads or small attractors above the hooks in clearer water. Short casts often out-fish long ones, particularly when targeting flatties in the first gutter at low to mid water.

In settled summer weather, shoals of mackerel and garfish can move within range of the piers and higher sea walls. Carry a spinning rod with 20–30g metals or small feathers to quickly capitalise on any surface activity. Coalfish, pollack and school bass will also hit lures fished along pier legs and structure; try slim metal jigs or small soft plastics worked through the mid-water layers on a light braid setup.

Successful Blackpool shore fishing is strongly tide-driven. Big spring tides generally fish best, with many locals favouring the last two hours of the flood and first hour of the ebb. Study the sand banks and run-off channels at low water to identify features to target when the tide floods. Use a tripod on the promenade, keep rod tips high to avoid waves, and clip-down rigs to improve casting efficiency into a persistent onshore breeze.

Fresh bait is a major edge. Lugworm and ragworm underpin most sessions, with squid, mackerel and sandeel for rays and dogfish, and peeler crab for bass and smoothhound. Scale tackle to conditions: heavier 5–6oz beachcasters for rougher seas and winter cod, and lighter surf rods for summer flatties and scratching. By matching rigs and baits to the season and reading the banks, gutters and tide state, anglers can unlock consistent sport along Blackpool’s famous seafront.

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.

Bernard Wharf - 17.57136815564km , Clark Wharf Spit - 22.68762644303km , Clark Wharf - 27.40720144685km , Cartmel Wharf - 33.40923129629km

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 6 beaches and bays in this area.

St Anne's Beach - 7.70725939426km , Ainsdale Beach - 23.21788252021km , Half Moon Bay - 26.56052281314km , Formby Beach - 28.1590601086km , Morecambe Bay - 30.04464499105km , Liverpool Bay - 33.05671946034km
