Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:50 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. 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 Liverpool

Liverpool fishing revolves around the powerful tides of the Mersey Estuary, the Irish Sea beaches towards Crosby and Formby, and the city’s extensive dock system. The area is accessible, well-charted and highly productive, but success depends on reading the tides, matching rigs to rough or mixed ground, and timing sessions to the key feeding windows.

Seasonally, winter on the Liverpool coast is dominated by codling and whiting. From late October through February, the Mersey Estuary, Perch Rock, New Brighton and the sea wall marks fish best on the larger spring tides. Heavy 5–7oz grip leads are usually needed to hold bottom. Two- or three-hook flapper rigs baited with black lugworm, blow lug, squid and mackerel cocktail score well for mixed bags of codling, whiting, dab and flounder. Night tides are often more consistent, especially on coloured water.

Spring sees whiting numbers drop and a better stamp of codling, plus early smoothhound and rays. As temperatures lift, thornback rays move onto sandy patches between rough ground in the estuary and off the beaches towards Crosby. Simple pulley rigs or pulley pennels with squid, bluey or sandeel baits pick out rays and the better codling. Lighter tides in neaps are often easier to fish when targeting rays and early hounds.

Summer transforms Liverpool into a mixed-species venue. Smoothhound become a headline target from late May through August, especially from boat charters working the Mersey and nearby banks. Crabs are key: fresh or peeler crab baits on strong 4/0 hooks and 25–30lb mono or 40–60lb braid mainline are standard. Thornback ray fishing peaks, with fish taken from beaches, sea walls and boats; fish baits presented on clipped-down pennel rigs help achieve distance into the channels. Bass show along the surf beaches and around structure on the lower estuary – fish with sandeel, lug or whole squid on a simple running ledger, or lure fish using metal spinners and soft plastics during clear water periods.

Autumn is a crossover period with bass, hounds and rays still lingering while the first waves of codling return. Short, mobile sessions on the beaches at dusk and dawn can produce good bass on fresh lug and sandeel, while deeper dock and wall marks inside the Mersey start to give better codling. As the water cools, scale back bait size for more bites, then step up to larger cocktails when bigger cod and rays are present.

Habitat-wise, Liverpool offers rough ground, sandbanks, deep dredged channels and man-made structure. In the Mersey, concentrate on the edges of channels, drop-offs and any obvious current seams. Around docks and piers, drop baits tight to walls, pilings and rock armour where shelter and food accumulate. On the open beaches, look for gutters, sandbars and areas where waves break unevenly – these features funnel bait and hold bass, rays and flatfish.

Key tactical tips: always build tactics around the tide – most marks fish best from two hours before to two hours after high or low water. Use grip leads and streamlined, clipped-down rigs for distance in heavy tide, and simpler running ledgers or up-and-over rigs when flow eases. Fresh lugworm, peeler crab and quality frozen squid or sandeel out-fish poor baits every time, so source locally and keep them in top condition. Stepping up hook and trace strength for rays, hounds and cod while keeping rigs as simple and tangle-free as possible is the most reliable way to catch consistently around Liverpool.

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.
