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 Scunthorpe

Fishing around Scunthorpe centres on a mix of productive commercial fisheries, club waters and natural drains, giving local anglers plenty of choice within a short drive of the town. The area is best known for reliable carp and mixed coarse fishing, with consistent year-round sport if you match rigs and tactics to the venue and conditions.

Commercial lakes around Scunthorpe typically hold good heads of common and mirror carp, F1s, bream, tench, roach and perch. In spring, carp patrol the warmer margins and shallow bays; corn, pellets and small boilies fished tight to features produce well. A simple method feeder with a 6–8mm wafter works on most day-ticket waters, especially cast to islands or far-bank shelves. On cooler, clear days, scale down hooks and use softer hookbaits like bread or maggot to tempt wary fish.

Summer is the prime time for bagging up on commercials and local stillwaters. Short-pole or top-kit fishing with micro pellets and soft expanders over a bed of 4mm feed pellets can keep bites coming all day. On busy venues, loose feed little and often rather than big hit feeding to avoid overfeeding pressured fish. Margin fishing becomes increasingly important in the evenings; paste, corn and meat over a heavy carpet of groundbait will draw in larger carp and barbel where they’re present. Surface fishing with dog biscuits or floating pellets is also effective on calm, warm evenings, but keep tackle balanced and hooks sharp to cope with powerful fish close in.

Natural drains and slower rivers within reach of Scunthorpe offer more traditional coarse sport for roach, bream, perch, pike and the odd chub. In autumn, these venues come into their own as shoals of silverfish migrate and compact. A 13ft float rod with a waggler or stick float, light mainline around 3–4lb and small hooks to maggot or pinkie will keep you in touch with bites. Feed modest balls of groundbait laced with hemp and caster to draw fish into the swim, topping up regularly but sparingly as the session progresses.

Winter fishing around Scunthorpe rewards those who fish fine and focus on location. On commercials, F1 carp, roach and skimmers remain very catchable by switching to small method or cage feeders, 0.08–0.10mm hooklengths and single maggot, pinkie or a tiny 4mm expander on the hook. Keep feed to a minimum and search the swim to find where fish are shoaled, often in slightly deeper water or along the central track of the lake. On drains and rivers, predator anglers do well with pike using deadbaits such as smelt or roach presented on simple float-ledger rigs near weedbeds, bends or marinas where baitfish congregate.

Throughout the year, success in the Scunthorpe area hinges on careful plumbing, accurate casting and consistent feeding. Look for features such as reed lines, overhanging trees, drop-offs and inflows, and build sessions around them. Keep a selection of hook sizes, shotting patterns and hookbaits so you can adapt quickly as fish behaviour changes with pressure and weather. By staying mobile, fishing tidily and matching tackle to the specific water, anglers around Scunthorpe can enjoy steady, often prolific sport across all seasons.
