Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 17:35 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 Juneau

Juneau, Alaska sits in the heart of the Inside Passage, giving anglers direct access to protected saltwater channels, glacier-fed rivers, and forested lakes. This mix of habitat creates a long, reliable season for salmon, halibut, rockfish, and trout, all within striking distance of town. Understanding the timing of runs and how local tides and currents move bait is the key to consistent success around Juneau.

Saltwater salmon fishing near Juneau centers on chinook (king) and coho (silver) salmon. Kings are present most of the year, with the strongest action usually from late spring through midsummer in places like Gastineau Channel, Stephens Passage, and Favorite Channel. Trolling is the dominant tactic: anglers run downriggers with hoochies, spoons, or cut-plug herring 40–120 feet down, targeting structure edges, current seams, and bait balls marked on sonar. Coho salmon peak from mid-summer into early fall and often ride higher in the water column, where faster trolling speeds and brighter spoons or hoochies draw aggressive strikes.

Halibut fishing is a major draw from late spring through early fall. Productive spots are typically gravel or sand flats adjacent to deeper drop-offs in Stephens Passage, Lynn Canal, and Chatham Strait. Boats anchor up-tide of structure and fish large circle hooks baited with herring, salmon heads, or squid on heavy leaders. Short, stout rods, enough lead to hold bottom, and a patient approach—letting scent build in the current—are crucial. Slack tides or lighter currents generally make it easier to stay on bottom and detect halibut bites.

Rockfish and lingcod inhabit the steep, rocky shorelines and underwater pinnacles that rim the channels around Juneau. Jigging metal irons or soft-plastic grubs near bottom while drifting over structure is highly effective. Anglers often combine bottom bouncing for halibut with higher-in-the-column jigs to pick up black rockfish and the occasional lingcod. Precise boat positioning with a chartplotter and a willingness to re-drift productive contours greatly improves catch rates.

Freshwater opportunities around Juneau focus on salmon, trout, and char in clear, cold streams and lakes. Coho and pink salmon flood local rivers in late summer, where drifting egg patterns, flashy spinners, or weighted streamers through deeper runs produces steady action. Dolly Varden and coastal cutthroat trout shadow the salmon, feeding on eggs and flesh; light spinning gear or 5–7 weight fly rods with bead imitations, small spoons, and woolly buggers cover most situations. Spring and early summer see good trout and char fishing in lakes and creeks before heavy salmon traffic arrives.

Tactically, success in Juneau’s fishery comes from reading tides, watching for bait, and matching your approach to the conditions. On bright days and clear water, smaller, more natural lures and quieter presentations excel; in low light or murky glacial water, step up to larger, more contrasting gear and add scent to baits. Carry both trolling and jigging setups for the salt, and a mix of spinners, spoons, and flies for freshwater. With flexible tactics and close attention to seasonal timing, Juneau rewards anglers with consistent action across one of Alaska’s most varied fishing landscapes.

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 2 wharf(s) in this area.

Pacific Coast Coal Company Wharf (historical) - 0.76403295947km , Douglas Wharf - 3.25600908461km

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 2 beaches and bays in this area.

Cross Bay Creek - 4.81322282953km , Ready Bullion Beach - 7.85158704364km

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 4 main harbours in this area.

Harris Harbor - 0.47207078542km, Juneau Harbor - 0.82957511813km, Aurora Basin - 1.04008445969km, Douglas Harbor - 3.43051697381km
