Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 15:15 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 Flint

Fishing in and around Flint, Michigan centers on the Flint River and a network of small lakes, reservoirs, and former gravel pits that now fish like natural lakes. The area is dominated by classic Midwestern warmwater species—bass, walleye, pike, and panfish—with enough carp, catfish, and oddballs like drum and gar to keep things interesting. Understanding how fish use current, weedlines, and depth changes through the seasons is the key to consistent action.

Seasonal patterns in the Flint area are predictable. In early spring, as soon as the river clears from snowmelt and levels stabilize, walleye, northern pike, and smallmouth push shallow onto current breaks, eddies, and rocky seams. Jigs tipped with soft-plastic minnows, slowly crawled along bottom, take a lot of fish. On small lakes and pits around the city, prespawn largemouth and panfish gravitate to north-facing shorelines that warm first; tiny marabou jigs, under a float, excel for crappie and bluegill.

By late spring into early summer, most gamefish spread out to weedlines, wood, and mid-depth structure. In the river, smallmouth bass stack on the heads and tails of riffles and along riprapped banks. Medium-diving crankbaits, 1/8–1/4 oz tube jigs, and Ned rigs bounced through current seams are standard producers. On nearby lakes, largemouth bass respond well to Texas-rigged worms pitched to laydowns and emergent vegetation, while panfish suspend over the first break off shoreline weeds.

Summer fishing around Flint means early and late are prime. Midday fish often slide deeper or tuck tight into cover. On clearer pits and reservoirs, finesse presentations shine: dropshot rigs with 3–4 inch finesse worms, light fluorocarbon, and subtle twitches just off bottom will tempt pressured bass. In the river, focus on shade lines, deeper outside bends, and any area with added current from inflows. Small topwaters—poppers and walking baits—can produce explosive smallmouth strikes at dawn and dusk, especially over shallow rubble flats.

Fall brings feeding windows as fish bulk up before winter. On the Flint River, look for walleye and smallmouth to shift back to deeper holes adjacent to current; heavier jigs, blade baits, and lipless crankbaits worked along the bottom edge of holes can be deadly. In lakes, bass and pike patrol remaining green weeds and points swept by wind. Spinnerbaits and squarebill crankbaits covering water quickly are efficient search tools, while live minnows or waxworms on simple float rigs score consistent action for crappie and bluegill.

Key habitat types and tactics are fairly consistent across the Flint area:

  • River current seams & eddies: Target the soft side of current, below riffles, bridge pilings, and logjams. Use 1/8–3/8 oz jigs and present them quartering upstream so they drift naturally back toward you.
  • Riprap, bridges, and urban structure: These hold smallmouth, rock bass, and drum. Work small crankbaits, swimbaits, or live bait tight to the rocks, keeping contact with bottom.
  • Weedlines & submerged vegetation in lakes: Cast parallel to the outside edge with spinnerbaits, swim jigs, or weightless soft plastics. For finicky fish, switch to wacky-rigged stickbaits on light line.
  • Gravel pits & clear reservoirs: Fish deeper breaks, humps, and points. Count down small swimbaits, jigging spoons, or use sonar to stay directly on subtle structure.
  • Muddy or stained water after rains: In the river, move shallower with loud, high-vibration lures—chartreuse spinnerbaits, rattlebaits—and lean on scent or live bait for catfish and carp on bottom rigs.

Light fluorocarbon leaders, sharp hooks, and a mix of search baits and finesse options will keep you flexible as conditions shift. By matching presentations to current, cover, and season, anglers around Flint can reliably connect with quality fish from shore or boat across this productive mid-Michigan fishery.
