Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 12:55 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 Towson

Fishing near Towson, MD centers on Loch Raven Reservoir, the Gunpowder River, and a network of small public ponds and streams. These waters give local anglers close-range shots at bass, trout, crappie, perch, and catfish without leaving Baltimore County. Understanding how each fishery changes with season and water conditions is the key to consistent action.

Loch Raven Reservoir is the primary destination for Towson anglers. This deep, tree-lined drinking‑water reservoir fishes well from early spring through late fall. In spring, focus on coves and shallow flats where largemouth bass, crappie and panfish move to warm up and stage for the spawn. Slow-rolled spinnerbaits, compact jigs, and weightless soft plastics pitched tight to laydowns and stump fields are reliable. Crappie stack on brush and bridge pilings; small jigs and minnows under a fixed bobber work best when you hold them just above the fish.

Summer on Loch Raven is a game of structure and shade. Largemouth bass push to weed edges, standing timber, and drop-offs adjacent to deeper water. Early and late, work topwaters along shoreline cover; once the sun is high, switch to Texas-rigged worms, Carolina rigs, or deep-diving crankbaits on points and ledges. Yellow perch, bluegill, and catfish offer steady action around rocky banks and inflowing creeks. At night, chunk baits or chicken liver on bottom rigs can draw solid channel catfish from deeper channels and bends.

Gunpowder River and local streams to the north and east of Towson provide a different style of fishing. The upper Gunpowder and its cold tributaries are well-known trout waters, rewarding light tackle and stealth. In spring and fall, match local insect hatches with small spinners or inline spoons, or drift natural presentations like worms through riffles and runs. In low, clear summer flows, downsize to 2–4 lb line, use longer leaders, and approach from downstream to avoid spooking fish.

Below the Prettyboy and Loch Raven dams, the Gunpowder and connected tidal reaches transition to mixed-species water with smallmouth bass, rock bass, fallfish, and seasonal runs of shad and river herring. Target current seams, boulder fields, and undercut banks with small crankbaits, tubes, and finesse jigs. Wading anglers should pack a selection of 1/8–1/4 oz jigs in natural baitfish colors and adjust weight to match current speed.

Neighborhood ponds and small lakes around Towson hold dependable populations of bluegill, bass, and stocked trout in cooler months. These waters fish best with simple tactics: slip bobbers and live bait for panfish, small soft-plastic worms or grubs for bass, and inline spinners or salmon eggs for trout. Focus on corners near inflows, culverts, and any visible cover like weed edges or overhanging trees.

  • Use subtle, natural-colored lures in clear reservoir and river water; switch to brighter options after rain or in stained coves.
  • Carry both moving baits (crankbaits, spinnerbaits) and bottom-contact presentations (jigs, worms) to adapt to fish mood and depth.
  • Watch wind direction on Loch Raven; wind-blown banks often hold more active fish and concentrated bait.
  • In cold water, slow everything down—small jigs, blade baits, and suspending jerkbaits worked with long pauses can be deadly.

From kayak sessions on Loch Raven to wading the Gunpowder, Towson offers year-round freshwater opportunity. Match your tactics to season, water clarity, and structure, and you’ll stay on fish within a short drive of town.
