Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:52 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 Grimsby

Grimsby sea fishing revolves around the Humber Estuary and the adjacent North Sea coastline, giving shore and boat anglers a mix of shallow estuary channels, sand banks and rougher inshore ground. The tidal range is big here, so reading the tides and timing sessions carefully is more important than fancy tackle.

Seasonal patterns are well defined. From late autumn through winter, cod and whiting dominate, with the best runs often after North Sea blows that colour the water. Fish the flood and first of the ebb into the deeper water, especially at night, with big worm and squid cocktails. Spring sees increasing numbers of flounder and dab in the estuary, plus early bass nosing along the banks and gutters. Summer brings smoothhounds, thornback rays, dogfish and school bass, along with mackerel and the odd garfish on calm, clear days. As the first autumn gales arrive, bass and rays peak briefly before the cycle swings back to cod and whiting.

Key habitats around Grimsby include the Humber channel edges, sand and mud flats, and patches of broken ground. The estuary margins and docks area offer access to deeper, tide-swept water close in, ideal for winter codling and whiting. The Cleethorpes side gives more classic open-beach fishing with gulley systems and sandbars that hold flatfish and bass. Rougher patches, rock armour and man‑made structures hold wrasse, pollack and conger, particularly in summer.

Shore tactics centre on medium to heavy beach gear because of the strong tides. A 12–13 ft beachcaster paired with a 6500‑size multiplier or robust fixed spool and 15–18 lb mainline with a shockleader is a solid starting point. In stronger tide, use simple pulley rigs or 1‑up, 1‑down paternosters with 5–6 oz grip leads to hold bottom. In slacker neap tides, 2‑ or 3‑hook flappers with smaller hooks are effective for flatties and whiting. Cast just beyond the main surf line or into visible channels rather than simply aiming for maximum distance.

Bait choice is crucial in the Humber area. Lugworm and ragworm are staple offerings, either straight or tipped with squid, mackerel or bluey for cod and whiting. Peeler crab is a prime summer bait for bass and smoothhound, fished in the gutters and along channel edges on the flooding tide. For rays and larger huss or conger, use bigger fish baits such as mackerel, herring or squid sections presented on strong hooks and wire or heavy mono traces. Keep baits streamlined to cut drag in the heavy tide run.

Boat and charter fishing out of Grimsby taps into deeper wrecks and inshore sand banks. Wreck trips produce cod, pollack and ling on pirks, shads and baited hokais, while inshore drifts across banks and hollows yield rays, dabs, gurnard and smoothhound. Use 12–20 lb class boat rods for general work and step up a class when targeting bigger wreck fish or conger. Fishing downtide with flowing traces and long snoods often out‑catches shorter, stiff rigs here.

To get the best from Grimsby fishing, plan around the tide tables, favouring the middle hours of the flood and the first of the ebb, and adjust lead weight and rig style to keep baits anchored and working naturally. Vary casting distances to locate fish-holding channels, and be prepared to move a few metres along the beach or wall to follow features as the tide floods and ebbs.

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 1 wharf(s) in this area.

Eastern Jetty - 10.30428693844km

Harbours and Marinas can often times be productive fishing spots for land based fishing as their sheltered environment attracts a wide variety of bait fish. Similar to river mouths, harbour entrances are also great places to fish as lots of fish will move in and out with the rising and falling tides. There are 2 main harbours in this area.
