Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:3 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.

Tide Coefficient at 02:04 pm is 100

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 Conwy

Conwy fishing centres on a classic North Wales estuary that flows into a productive stretch of the Irish Sea. The town’s accessible marks, reliable tidal flow and varied ground give shore and boat anglers consistent opportunities for bass, flounder, rays and smoothhound, with winter codling and whiting bolstering the colder months.

Seasonally, spring sees flounder and early bass show in the Conwy estuary, especially around the lower reaches by Conwy Quay and Deganwy. As the water warms, school bass move onto the sandbanks and channels on flooding tides. Summer is prime time for smoothhound, rays and dogfish over the clean and mixed ground off the estuary mouth and nearby beaches such as Conwy Morfa. Mackerel, pollack and garfish appear along the open coast and around structure. In autumn, bass fishing often peaks around the last of the ebb and first push of the flood, while whiting and codling begin to arrive. Through winter, the focus shifts to whiting, dab, codling and pouting from deeper-water marks and channels, with night tides especially productive.

The main habitat types are the estuary channels, sand and mudflats, mixed ground at the estuary mouth, and rougher rock edges on the surrounding coastline. Inside the river, flounder, school bass and eels favour the bends and drop-offs; look for current seams and slightly deeper slots rather than featureless flats. Around the bridges and piers, eddies and slack pockets hold pouting, dogfish and the odd conger. Out towards the harbour entrance and adjacent beaches, cleaner sand attracts rays, smoothhound, dab and whiting, while patches of rougher ground and weed beds harbour wrasse, pollack and bull huss.

Shore fishing tactics in Conwy revolve around simple but well-presented rigs and accurate casting to tidal features rather than distance alone. For flounder and estuary bass, use light to medium beach gear, a running ledger or two-hook flapper with size 1–2 hooks and small baits. Ragworm, lugworm and crab baits outfished fancy lures in the coloured water; add a few coloured beads or a small spinner blade above the hook to draw attention on dull days. On the open coast for rays and smoothhound, step up to stronger mainline and a pulley or up-and-over rig with 3/0–4/0 hooks and fresh crab, squid or fish strip. Keep snoods short in strong tides to reduce tangles and ensure baits sit firmly on the seabed.

Lure anglers find opportunities around the estuary mouth and rock fringes when water clarity allows. Small soft plastics and shallow-diving minnows fished across current lines will take bass and pollack at dawn and dusk. Work lures diagonally across the flow, allowing them to swing and maintain contact; most hits come as the lure straightens. On calm summer evenings, surface lures can draw explosive bass takes tight to structure.

Boat and charter fishing from nearby marinas and moorings accesses deeper sandbanks and mixed ground off Conwy Bay. Standard uptide or downtide rigs baited with squid, mackerel strip or crab produce rays, smoothhound, dogfish and gurnard. Focus on tide changes and subtle bank edges where the depth shifts by a metre or two. On neap tides you can fish lighter leads and smaller hooks to pick out better-quality whiting and gurnard instead of just dogfish.

Success in Conwy largely comes down to reading the tides and timing. The last two hours of the flood and first hour of the ebb are often best for bass and smoothhound, while flounder and dab may feed throughout the run. Night sessions, especially around spring tides, markedly improve catches of rays, whiting and codling. Travel light, move to find fish-holding features, and adjust hook size and bait quantity to match the species you’re targeting in this productive Welsh estuary.

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.

Red Wharf Bay - 23.16702599603km

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 5 beaches and bays in this area.
