Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:36 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 Morristown

Fishing in Morristown, TN revolves around Cherokee Lake and the Holston River system, two of East Tennessee’s most productive multispecies fisheries. The lake’s winding coves, long gravel points and flooded timber hold quality bass, while deep creek channels and brushpiles stack up crappie. River arms and tailwater-style flows attract stripes, walleye and catfish, giving local anglers a wide range of options without leaving Hamblen County.

Seasonal patterns on Cherokee Lake drive most fishing decisions around Morristown. In early spring, prespawn largemouth and smallmouth push shallow into warming pockets and pea-gravel banks. Focus on north-facing coves with small crankbaits, suspending jerkbaits and 3–4 inch soft-plastic swimbaits slow-rolled around secondary points. As water creeps into the 60s, a simple Texas-rigged creature bait pitched to laydowns and boat docks in Panther Creek and other mid-lake creeks produces consistent bites.

By late spring and early summer, bass transition to offshore structure. Long main-lake points, channel bends and humps in 12–25 feet become prime. Graph first, then fish schools with Carolina rigs, football jigs and deep-diving crankbaits. Spotted bass often school just off breaks; a drop-shot with a small finesse worm will keep you on bites when largemouth are finicky. Early and late in the day, keep a topwater walking bait ready—surface schooling activity around shad can erupt quickly on calm mornings.

Striped and hybrid bass are a major draw near Morristown. Spring finds them running up the river arms, where casting 1/2–1 oz jigging spoons, flukes on heavy jig heads, or live shad in current breaks is effective. In summer, use electronics to locate deep bait clouds over creek channels and mid-lake basins; downlines or free-lines with live alewives or shad catch quality fish. Night fishing around lighted marinas or bridge pilings with swimbaits and bucktail jigs can be outstanding when daytime boat traffic is heavy.

Crappie and panfish thrive in Cherokee’s brushy cover. In late winter and early spring, target staging fish on channel edges and deeper brushpiles with 1/16 oz marabou or tube jigs, tipping with a small minnow if needed. During the spawn, work shallow brush, riprap and dock pilings with float-and-jig setups in 3–8 feet of water. Through summer and fall, crappie slide back to brush in 12–20 feet; use electronics to mark cover and vertically present small plastics or minnows directly over the pile. Bluegill and redear sunfish are abundant around gravel banks and docks—perfect for simple worm-and-float rigs.

The Holston River and nearby tailwaters give Morristown anglers moving-water options. Smallmouth bass relate to current seams, rock ledges and eddies; 3–4 inch craw-style plastics, compact spinnerbaits and small topwaters shine from late spring through fall. Walleye and sauger hold near deeper bends and below shoals—jigging soft plastics, minnows or vertical spoons tight to bottom is most productive in colder months and low-light periods. Stocked trout in cooler stretches respond to inline spinners, small jerkbaits and drifted natural baits under lightweight tackle.

Tactical tips: In clear water, downsize line—8–10 lb fluorocarbon for bass and 4–6 lb for crappie will noticeably increase bites. Let water temperature and baitfish presence dictate depth: use your electronics constantly, and don’t waste time on “naked” spots. Wind-blown banks often outproduce calm ones for bass and stripers, while crappie and panfish favor protected pockets with cover. Morristown’s mix of lake and river habitat means that, with a couple of versatile rod setups and a small selection of finesse plastics, jigs, crankbaits and live bait options, you can stay on fish 12 months a 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.
