Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:58 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.

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 Natchez

Natchez, Mississippi sits on one of America’s greatest fisheries: the Mississippi River. Anglers here target everything from trophy blue catfish in the main channel to largemouth bass and crappie in quiet backwaters and oxbow lakes. The mix of big-river current, backwater sloughs and flooded timber creates a wide range of patterns that shift with river level and season.

Spring is prime time for bass, crappie and panfish around Natchez. As river temperatures climb into the 60s, fish push into protected backwaters, cuts, ditches and oxbows connected to the main river. Focus on flooded brush, laydowns and shallow wood with small soft plastics, spinnerbaits and square-bill crankbaits for bass. Crappie stack along the first drop off the bank and around visible timber; jigs under a fixed cork or small minnows slow-trolled along the treeline are consistent producers.

Through summer, much of the action shifts deeper and closer to current. Largemouth bass hold on outside bends with riprap, wing dikes and eddies where baitfish wash through. Early and late, throw topwaters along rock and grass edges; once the sun is high, work deeper crankbaits, Carolina rigs and Texas-rigged worms along current seams. Blue and channel catfish feed heavily along ledges, barge tie-offs, and downstream sides of wing dams. Cut shad, skipjack or commercial stink baits on a heavy slip-sinker rig produce well when anchored just off the main flow.

In fall, cooling water pulls bait to shallow flats and the mouths of side channels. This is one of the most consistent multi-species times in the Natchez area. White bass, striped bass and drum push shad to the surface on current breaks and at the heads of sandbars; small spoons, inline spinners and compact crankbaits catch them fast. Bass key on the same bait schools along wood and rock, and a simple white spinnerbait or shad-colored crankbait can cover water quickly. Crappie slide back to mid-depth brush and vertical cover; vertical jigging with small plastics in natural shad or chartreuse patterns is highly effective.

Winter fishing concentrates fish but rewards precise presentations. Catfish stack on deep holes, outside-bend trenches and scour holes below structure; slowly drift or bump cut bait along the bottom using just enough weight to maintain contact. Bass hold on the warmest, most stable water you can find—often darker backwaters, discharge areas, or deep bends out of heavy current. Jigs and tight-wobbling crankbaits crawled across rock and wood catch the majority of winter bites.

Across seasons, reading current and river level is crucial. Rising water generally pushes fish shallow into newly flooded cover; falling water pulls them to the nearest deeper break, ditch or channel edge. Look for current seams where fast and slack water meet—these edges concentrate bait and predators alike. On the Mississippi at Natchez, heavy tackle, strong line and sturdy hooks are important to control fish in big water and heavy cover. Mix big-river tactics with backwater finesse, and you can stay on fish around Natchez in almost any condition.

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 15 beaches and bays in this area.
