Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:13 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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

Fishing Overview Bury

Bury, in Greater Manchester, is surrounded by varied coarse fishing, from the River Irwell and Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal through to intimate ponds and well-managed commercial fisheries. Most venues are easily reached from the town, with good access and plenty of pegs that suit both traditional float anglers and modern match and carp approaches.

Stillwaters around Bury typically hold carp, F1s, bream, tench, roach and perch. Carp in many commercials respond well from late spring through early autumn to method feeders and pellet waggler tactics. A compact method feeder with a 4–6mm pellet or small wafter tight to the island or far bank cover is a reliable opening move. In summer, shallow pellet fishing and mugging cruising carp along the near shelf also score heavily, especially on pressured match lakes.

On mixed and club waters, silver fish dominate the cooler months. Roach and skimmers respond to groundbait and maggot, with a soft, dark mix helping when the water is clear. Pole or waggler at 8–11m over a bed of groundbait and micros is a strong winter line; regularly loose-feed a few pinkies or maggots to keep fish active without overfeeding. Perch are a dependable fallback on tough days: small worm or single maggot dropped tight to reeds, pallets or any sunken structure will often produce when carp switch off.

The River Irwell as it passes close to Bury offers running-water sport for roach, chub, grayling and the odd barbel. In summer and early autumn, trot a stick float or bolo down the glides with maggot, caster or small pieces of bread flake. Focus on steadier seams below riffles, the tails of pools and any bends that create a visible crease in the flow. In higher, coloured water, step up to a heavier float and larger hook baits such as double maggot or corn, and search the slower inside line where fish shelter.

Canal fishing on the Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal is all about accuracy and rhythm. Plumbing the depth carefully across, on the far shelf and down the track is crucial. A light pole rig with fine line, small hook and tiny shotting pattern will pick off roach, skimmers and the occasional better perch. Feed very small balls of groundbait or just a pinch of pinkies every put-in to build the swim gradually. In colder months, a bread punch approach down the track often out-fishes everything else.

Predator anglers around Bury target pike and perch in both still and running water. Autumn through early spring is prime time for lure and deadbait tactics. On clearer venues, small natural-coloured shads and spinners fished slowly along drop-offs, boat channels and near any feature are reliable for perch. Pike respond to larger soft plastics and suspended deadbaits presented off the bottom near reed beds, overhanging trees or where silver fish shoals are evident.

Throughout the Bury area, success hinges on travelling light, plumbing carefully and tailoring feed to conditions. Keep rigs simple, stay mobile on rivers and canals, and adjust hook baits and feeding frequency to match water clarity and fish response. With that methodical approach, Bury’s mixed fisheries can produce consistent sport in every season.
