Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 16:59 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.

Fishing Overview Newry

Newry sits in a prime position for anglers, with the Newry Canal, Clanrye River and the head of Carlingford Lough all within easy reach. The area blends classic Irish coarse fishing with small-river trout sport and productive inshore sea angling, meaning you can switch target species with only a short drive between venues.

The Newry Canal is the core coarse venue. Deep, slow sections hold shoals of roach and bream, with perch and the occasional tench in quieter, vegetated stretches. Pike patrol the marginal shelves and junctions with feeder burns. In spring and early summer, roach and hybrids feed confidently on pinkies, maggots and small worms presented over a bed of groundbait; a 4–6 m pole or waggler rod fished just overdepth is ideal. In summer, scale down to finer hooklengths and small hooks to keep bites coming in clear water. For bream, fish the deeper bends with a cage feeder, building a patch with dark groundbait, micro-pellets and chopped worm.

The Clanrye River and nearby upland streams support wild brown trout and, in season, runs of sea trout and salmon heading towards the Newry and Carlingford catchment. These are intimate rivers where stealth matters more than distance. Through spring, look for trout in broken riffles and pocket water, taking small spinners, size 0–2 spoons and compact soft plastics. On the fly, size 14–18 spiders and nymphs under a light indicator score well. In summer low water, concentrate on deeper runs at first and last light, using longer leaders and small dries or lightly dressed wets.

Carlingford Lough, within easy reach from Newry, provides sea fishing for mackerel, pollack, wrasse, flounder and more. Rock marks along the lough’s shoreline and nearby headlands offer reliable sport with pollack and wrasse from late spring to autumn. Use 20–30 g metal lures or slim soft shads worked tight to kelp beds for pollack, allowing the lure to sink before a steady retrieve. For wrasse, drop-shot or simple running ledger rigs baited with crab, shellfish or ragworm fished among rocks are consistent producers.

From piers and accessible shore marks, summer and early autumn mackerel shoals move in on the flood tide. Small metal lures or feather rigs cast into visible activity are effective; keep tackle simple with a 10–11 ft spinning rod and 15–20 lb braid or mono. In calmer, shallower bays and estuary edges, flounder and other flatfish respond well to two-hook flapper rigs baited with ragworm, lugworm or strips of mackerel, especially when there is a touch of colour in the water.

Seasonally, spring sees coarse fish in the canal become more active, trout feeding confidently in rivers, and early pollack showing on the lough. Summer is prime time for mixed bags: canal roach and bream, surface-feeding trout on small dries, and prolific mackerel and pollack runs at sea. Autumn can bring some of the best pike fishing in the canal and heavier pollack and wrasse in deeper water. Through winter, focus on pike and perch in the canal’s slower basins and sheltered sea marks for codling, whiting and dogfish using simple bottom rigs baited with squid or fish strip.

Across all Newry venues, success comes from reading the water, matching tackle to venue size and adjusting bait or lure size to water clarity. Travel light, keep mobile, and concentrate effort around structure—bends, bridges, drop-offs, rocks and weedlines—to make the most of the diverse fishing on offer around Newry.

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 3 beaches and bays in this area.

Mill Bay - 20.74111797331km , Dundalk Bay - 26.05937382505km , Kilkeel Bay - 26.67501823032km

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.
