Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:43 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 Thornbury

Fishing around Thornbury is dominated by the tidal River Severn, backed up by a good spread of commercials, farm ponds and small rivers across South Gloucestershire. Within 10–20 minutes’ drive you can be legering for barbel and chub on coloured river, float fishing quiet ponds for silvers, or targeting hard‑fighting sea species in the fierce Severn tides.

The seasonal pattern starts with spring sea bass and flounder pushing up the Severn as the water warms. April to June is prime for school bass, dogfish and early thornback rays on the estuary, while stillwaters wake up with tench, bream and cruising carp. Summer brings the most consistent mixed fishing: evening sessions on the river produce chub, barbel and eels, commercials respond well with pellet‑feeding carp and F1s, and the estuary holds bass, smoothhounds and rays on the bigger tides. Autumn is a peak time for heavier Severn species and specimen coarse fish; river levels suit trotting for roach and dace, and predators like pike and perch become a realistic target. In colder winter months, many anglers switch to Severn codling and whiting on the right tides and small, well‑fed match carp on local commercials.

Habitat types around Thornbury are varied. The Severn foreshore offers muddy, rock‑strewn scars, deep channels and bank marks that fish best on the bigger springs. Inland you’ll find intimate rivers and carriers with gravel runs and deeper bends ideal for chub and barbel, plus sheltered estate lakes and purpose‑built commercials with features such as islands, reed beds and marginal shelves. Target the Severn’s gullies and channel edges for rays and bass, while on lakes and ponds concentrate on margins, overhanging trees and any change in depth such as the base of the near and far shelves.

Techniques need to be tailored to water type. On the Severn near Thornbury, a sturdy beachcaster, 20–30 lb mono or strong braid, and 5–8 oz grip leads are standard to hold bottom in the tide. Use simple pulley or up‑and‑over rigs with 2/0–4/0 hooks, baited with peeler crab, ragworm, squid or mackerel strips. Cast just into the channel edges rather than trying to blast to the horizon; fish naturally move along the gutters. On rivers, a 1.25–1.75 lb test‑curve Avon or barbel rod, 6–10 lb main line and simple running leads or feeders are ideal. For chub and barbel, fish meat, pellets or boilies tight to snags or crease lines, feeding sparingly but regularly.

Stillwaters around Thornbury respond well to float and feeder tactics. For silvers, a light waggler or pole fished over groundbait with maggots, pinkies or small expanders will keep bites coming. For carp and F1s, method feeders loaded with dampened 2–4 mm pellets and small wafters or banded hard pellets are consistent. In clear conditions, step down line diameters and hook sizes and focus on accuracy; in coloured or windy conditions, bulk shotting and slightly heavier rigs help maintain control.

A few thorny local tactical tips: on the Severn, time your sessions around the last of the flood and first of the ebb when debris is reduced and bites peak; always set rod rests high and keep plenty of line out of the tide to avoid constant drag. On rivers, travel light and give each swim 20–30 minutes maximum; if you’re not getting line bites, move to more cover or pace. On commercials, building a bed of bait steadily through small but frequent top‑ups generally outfishes big early dumps, especially on pressured venues near Thornbury. Finally, wind and colour make a big difference: a bit of extra colour in the Severn or the local rivers often sparks the best chub, barbel and predator action, so watch recent rainfall and plan your sessions accordingly.

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 10 beaches and bays in this area.

Woodhill Bay - 21.99805791157km , Kilkenny Bay - 22.44762573008km , Redcliff Bay - 24.93671440449km , Scarog Bay - 25.40456604271km , Charlcombe Bay - 25.8828463108km , Pigeon House Bay - 27.0016384162km , Margaret's Bay - 28.29270807004km , Ladye Bay - 29.06399407113km , Woodspring Bay - 36.76694405315km , Sand Bay - 40.76230569917km

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 1 main harbours in this area.
