Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:8 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 Stillwater

Stillwater, Oklahoma offers a versatile freshwater fishery centered on Lake Carl Blackwell west of town, Boomer Lake within city limits, and a network of smaller lakes and ponds. These waters hold quality largemouth bass, crappie, catfish, hybrid striped bass, and panfish, with reliable year-round action for both bank and boat anglers.

Seasonal patterns are predictable. In late winter and early spring, prespawn bass stage on channel swings, riprap, and the first drop-offs outside coves. Jigs, lipless crankbaits, and suspending jerkbaits shine on windy points and rocky banks. Crappie begin sliding up from creek channels and bridge pilings toward shallow brush as water temps push into the 50s; small jigs under fixed or slip bobbers produce on calm days. Catfish feed along old channels and wind-blown banks where shad stack up, responding well to cut bait on bottom rigs.

During spring and early summer around Stillwater, bass move shallow to spawn in coves, protected pockets, and along gently sloping clay or pea-gravel banks. Soft plastic creature baits, weightless stick worms, and finesse rigs pitched to visible beds, laydowns, and isolated brush are effective. Crappie fishing peaks as fish stack in 3–8 feet around brush piles, stake beds, docks, and flooded shoreline cover; 1/16–1/32 oz marabou or plastic tube jigs in natural shad or chartreuse patterns are staples. Hybrid striped bass and white bass in Lake Carl Blackwell roam wind-blown points and open-water bait schools; medium-diving crankbaits, swimbaits, and 1/2 oz jigging spoons work when electronics reveal suspended fish.

Summer pushes fish deeper and closer to main-lake structure. On Carl Blackwell, focus on creek-channel bends, submerged roadbeds, and main-lake points near the river channel. Early and late in the day, topwaters over points and flats can draw explosive bass strikes; as the sun climbs, switch to Carolina rigs, deep-diving crankbaits, and drop-shot rigs worked along breaks in 10–20 feet. At Boomer Lake, morning and evening bites concentrate along riprap and the dam with spinnerbaits and squarebill crankbaits, while mid-day fish tuck into shade near docks and overhangs.

Catfish remain a strong option through the heat. Channel catfish respond to punch bait, stink bait, and cut shad fished on slip-sinker or Santee-style rigs along ledges, flats near channels, and around inflow areas after summer storms. At night, drift or anchor on shallow flats near deeper water transitions for both channel and blue catfish. Flatheads favor live bait presented near rock piles, timber, and bridge pilings.

In fall, cooling water drives shad and gamefish shallow again. Work wind-blown banks, backs of creeks, and shallow points with medium crankbaits, spinnerbaits, and lipless cranks in shad patterns. Bass often school on the surface; keep a small topwater or fluke-style bait rigged to cast into schooling activity. Crappie slide back to mid-depth brush and vertical structure; slowly work jigs vertically over cover, paying attention to the exact depth of bites.

Tactical tips for Stillwater anglers include targeting visible and man-made structure—bridges, riprap, docks, brush piles, and standing timber—before probing offshore spots. Wind is your ally on larger lakes: a light chop pushes baitfish onto points and shorelines, positioning bass and hybrids. Downsizing line and lure profiles during post-front conditions can turn tough bites into steady action. Local small ponds and urban waters around Stillwater respond well to simple setups: slip bobbers with worms or small jigs for bluegill and bass, and basic bottom rigs with prepared baits for cats. Rotating between these waters and larger nearby lakes keeps you on consistent fish throughout the year.

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.
