Sun and Moon
The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 10:57 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.

New Moon is generally a very productive time for fishing. Dark nights mean that many predators feed more actively during daylight hours. The combined gravity of sun and moon during New Moon days has a stronger effect on all water bodies, leads to increased food availabilty and hence better fishing.
  • Distance to earth:
    405,170 km
    Proximity:
    1.2 %
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.

All times are displayed in the America/Los_Angeles timezone and are automatically adjusted to daylight savings. The current timezone offset is -7 hours. Green and yellow areas indicate the best fishing times (major and minor). Blue areas indicate high and low tides. The center shows the current moon phase which is a New Moon at 1% lumination. According to the Solunar Theory, today is a excellent day for fishing, but you need to cross check this with the current weather forecast for a final decision. Today some bite times coincide with sunrise or sunset. Those will be particularly good times for fishing and are indicated by sun icons. The next best fishing time ( ) starts in -1 hour and -31 minute. The gray time indicator displays the current local time.

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. The graph below shows you the 3 hourly weather progression over the next 7 days. Scroll the graph left or right to see more.

October Fishing Report

October brings cooler mornings and active fish around Sacramento. The Sacramento and American rivers see the fall push of Chinook salmon, with fish holding in deeper slots and moving at dawn. Striped bass prowl bait-rich edges from Freeport to the Delta, while early steelhead show sporadically below Nimbus. In sloughs and flooded tulles, largemouth bass and spotted bass feed around shallow cover; channel catfish remain steady on cut bait during mild evenings.

Best action is typically dawn and dusk, or during strong tide swings. After the first rains, expect slightly stained water; 2–5 ft clarity favors reaction baits. For stripers, work swimbaits, rattletraps, or topwater along current seams; live bait and bucktails also produce. Salmon anglers are scoring with spoons and plugs in travel lanes. Bass respond to vibrating jigs, squarebills, and downsized plastics when the Delta breeze picks up. Watch for birds corralling bait to locate fast-moving schools.

Top tip: Track outgoing tide windows and target current breaks—position up-current, cast across the seam, and let the lure swing naturally to ambushing fish.

Best Fishing Spots in the greater Sacramento area

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 2 main harbours in this area.

Sacramento Marina - 3.01222185521km, Clarksburg Marina - 18.19510026106km
