Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:6 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 Anoka

Anoka, Minnesota sits at the joining of the Rum and Mississippi Rivers, creating a uniquely productive fishery with strong current seams, riprap banks, and quiet backwaters all within a short drive. Multi-species anglers can reasonably target smallmouth bass, walleyes, pike, catfish, and panfish in the same stretch of river, especially near the downtown riverfront and public parks.

Seasonal patterns drive success in Anoka. In early spring, walleyes and saugers push upstream, concentrating below current breaks, bridge abutments, and dams. Jig-and-minnow combos or soft-plastic paddletails on 1/8–1/4 oz jigs are reliable, especially when worked slowly along the bottom in the Rum River mouth and nearby Mississippi eddies. As the water warms into late spring and summer, smallmouth bass become a key draw, shifting to rocky shorelines, mid-river boulders, and riprap along the banks, while panfish gather in backwaters and slow side channels.

Summer fishing around Anoka favors early and late in the day. Smallmouth bass respond well to 3–4 inch tube jigs, Ned rigs, and small crankbaits that deflect off rock and current seams. Topwater poppers and walking baits shine on calm mornings along the Rum River and quieter Mississippi stretches. Catfish anglers do well after dark with cut bait or livebait set near deeper outside bends and holes downstream of the confluence. Bluegills, crappies, and perch hold around laydowns, weed edges, and marina areas; small jigs tipped with plastics or waxworms under slip bobbers are effective for filling a panfish bucket.

In fall, cooling water pulls walleyes and smallmouth back to current edges. Focus on deeper runs, channel swings, and the first sharp breaks off shoreline flats. Vertical jigging, slowly cranked shad-style baits, and livebait rigs work well in the Mississippi main channel. Pike patrol weedlines and the edges of back bays—medium spoons, spinnerbaits, and suspending jerkbaits can produce big fish in relatively shallow water. As vegetation dies back, panfish often suspend off the first main-channel drop, making electronics and slow-drifting presentations especially helpful.

Habitat and access are a major advantage in Anoka. The confluence zone offers:

  • Fast current and rocky bottom ideal for smallmouth bass and walleyes.
  • Slower side channels and backwaters that hold panfish, carp, and catfish.
  • Marina areas, docks, and riprap for shore-bound anglers.

Boat and kayak anglers should pay attention to current speed and water levels; targeting current seams where fast water meets slack water is often the key to finding active fish. Shore anglers can do well by fan-casting from park access points, methodically working from tight to the bank out across the main flow.

Tactical tips for Anoka include packing a compact, versatile setup: medium spinning gear spooled with 8–15 lb braid and a fluorocarbon leader covers most species. Carry a small selection of jigs, tubes, Ned rigs, crankbaits, and a few catfish rigs to adapt quickly to what the river offers that day. Think in terms of edges—rock-to-sand transitions, weedlines, wood piles, and current breaks—and move frequently until you contact fish. Once you find one, more are usually close by in this current-driven urban fishery.

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 1 beaches and bays in this area.
